Under the partnership, Nova Systems will develop and deliver the next generation of Bushfire Management Area Plans (BMAPs), a modern, evidence‑based platform that will support improved bushfire risk assessment, planning and mitigation across South Australia.
Nova Systems CEO Dean Rosenfield said the partnership reflects the company’s long‑standing commitment to strengthening Australia’s emergency management capability.
“With one of the largest, independent Geospatial teams in Australia, we are well placed to support the CFS with advanced geospatial and bushfire mapping technology that enhances preparedness through the coordination of bushfire risk mitigation strategies.”
“Modern, real‑time mapping tools are essential for decision‑makers and first responders, and we are committed to delivering a robust, future‑ready system for South Australia,” Dean Rosenfield said.
CFS Director Community Risk and Resilience Alison May said the upgrade transforms how South Australia understands and mitigates bushfire risk, delivering clearer priorities, coordinated collective efforts, and stronger community resilience.
“BMAPs provide centralised, evidence-based mapping that helps agencies and individuals optimise prevention resources to reduce the likelihood and severity of bushfire for communities and landscapes.”
The BMAP project represents the largest reform to South Australia’s bushfire mitigation planning in 15 years. The new system will replace the current platform with improved consistency, data quality and long‑term tracking of mitigation activities. Nova Systems will build upon its existing bushfire planning solution already in use with the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.
Nova Systems’ work on BMAP reinforces the company’s growing role in delivering critical geospatial, data and emergency management technology solutions across government and industry.
