Fire Protection Association Australia (FPA Australia) administers the Bushfire Planning and Design (BPAD) Accreditation Scheme (the Scheme). The Scheme was first developed and implemented in 2006 in response to demands from the community, government and industry to establish a recognition program for bushfire planning and design (BPAD) Accredited Practitioners to assist the community undertaking development on land subject to bushfire impact.
The scheme is yet to be made mandatory as of July-November 2025 within the state of Victoria, to be able to issue Bushfire Planning Reports. Once it becomes mandatory, FGA will renew its accrediation and membership with the scheme.
Our Website will continue to grow.
