Emergency management for the South West.
One of the most fire-prone landscapes in the country, ringed by towns, vineyards, plantations and a tourist population that doubles in summer.
What makes the South West different.
The South West carries extreme bushfire exposure across a complex human landscape. It has a dense network of small local governments, alongside agriculture and viticulture, native and plantation forestry, heavy freight routes, and tourism centres whose population swells in exactly the months the risk peaks. Evacuation and coordination here are genuinely hard problems.
Resolve works with South West local governments and operators on the arrangements that carry that load. That means Local Emergency Management Arrangements that are current and usable, bushfire planning matched to the interface, and exercises that test coordination before a bad season does.
The hazards we build for in the South West.
Interface bushfire
High-intensity fire in forest, plantation and grass, often directly against town edges and critical infrastructure.
Seasonal population surge
Tourist numbers peak with the fire season, complicating evacuation, communications and welfare.
Severe storms
Winter storm and wind damage, extended power outages and road closures across a spread-out shire network.
Multi-agency coordination
Many small local governments and control agencies working a single event, where arrangements have to be clear in advance.
On site where it matters. Remote where it makes sense.
We work on the ground across the South West for LEMC workshops, exercises and community engagement, and run document review and development remotely between site visits. Engagements are scoped around your committee cycle and Council reporting dates.
Sectors we support
- Local government
- Agriculture and viticulture
- Forestry and plantations
- Tourism and events
- Mining and processing
The work that carries the most weight in this region.
Resolve works with South West local governments and operators on bushfire readiness and Local Emergency Management Arrangements built for the interface.
South West, answered.
Can Resolve review our Local Emergency Management Arrangements?
Yes. We review LEMA against current WA guidance and the reality of your district, run the LEMC engagement, and provide Council-ready documentation and a practical improvement plan your team can maintain.
LEMA & LEMC SupportDo you develop Bushfire Management Plans for South West operations?
Yes. We develop Bushfire Management Plans, trigger and escalation frameworks, and response exercising for local governments, agricultural and viticultural operations, tourism sites and industry across the South West.
Bushfire ManagementCan you help with tourist-season evacuation planning?
Yes. We work on evacuation decision-making, route and refuge planning, and communications for locations where the population changes significantly through the fire season, and we test the plan through exercises.
Do you facilitate multi-agency exercises for South West districts?
Yes. We design and facilitate exercises that test coordination between local governments, control agencies and operators, focused on the decisions and handovers that matter rather than the paperwork.
