The report and the Government’s response were released on 15 October 2013.
This followed an inquiry process that attracted more than 100 inquiry submissions from individuals, agencies or groups and involved 117 interviews.
The Tasmanian Government announced its response to the 67 recommendations of the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission on 28 September 2010. It also announced agreement to the recommendations of the Review of Construction and Development Control in Bushfire Prone Areas.
