The position and extents of a parcel of land, usually the smallest unit of land that can be held under an individual lease without a requirement for further subdivision. URBAN blocks are defined as blocks that appear within a division and have division and section identifiers. RURAL blocks do not usually appear within a division, but may do so if they remain from before the division was created. Blocks may have a lifecycle stage or Proposed, Registered, Approved, Occupied or Retired.PROPOSED: The block is proposed but has not reached any other stage.REGISTERED: The block appears on a Deposited Plan that has been registered with the Land Titles Office.APPROVED: The block appears on an Approved Plan that has been signed by the Territory Planning Section and the Project Officer for the development.OCCUPIED: The block is leased, but does not appear on a registered plan. Leases over unregistered blocks may not be registered at the Land Titles Office, so this stage is used for unregistered blocks with unregistered leases. This normally only occurs in rural areas.RETIRED: Retirement of a block occurs when it is replaced by another block.Note that block boundaries may not always align exactly. The legal definition of a block is defined in the Deposited plan.

Strategic Bushfire Management Plan - Current Bushfire Prone AreasThe BPA map is a single risk-based map that defines the area of the ACT that has been assessed as being at high risk to life and property due to bushfires. Canberra’s built-up areas that are adjacent to forest and grassland are defined as BPAs, as is the ACT’s entire rural area.
Identifying the at-risk areas on the BPA map has two principal purposes: It requires assessment to determine mandatory construction standards for buildings under the Australian Standards AS 3959 – Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas. Concurrent with the development of the SBMP, the ACT Government is considering arrangements to extend BPAs (for the purposes of AS 3959 assessments) to include part of the built-up area of CanberraIt provides the means by which people in the community can assess their personal level of risk and provide the basis for targeted The BPA map will be reviewed as required to reflect changes in land use and tenure, and will be approved by the Commissioner.
