Statewide Planned Burns

Landair Surveys supported the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) by capturing high resolution aerial imagery of planned burn sites across the Gippsland and Barwon South West regions. This aerial surveying work plays a vital role in assessing fire severity and mapping burn extent, helping reduce bushfire risk through targeted fuel-load reduction under the Planned Burns Program.

The project required precise coordination, as burn sites became ready for capture at different times. Imagery had to be acquired within four weeks of readiness and delivered within three weeks of capture. Working across remote and mountainous areas, we relied on advanced weather forecasting and flexible operations to ensure timely and high-quality aerial imagery.
