This is the title of a report published by Natural Hazards Research Australia. It is available to download here – https://www.naturalhazards.com.au/resources/publications/report/landholder-legal-responsibility-bushfire-mitigation-queensland

The report is written by Fia Hamid-Walker, a PhD student at Melbourne University. The abstract says:

This report examines Queensland’s legal framework for bushfire mitigation and situates it within the national regulatory landscape. It seeks to determine the extent to which occupiers of land in Queensland have a legal responsibility to manage bushfire hazards on their property. This includes analysing whether Queensland law imposes any positive or ongoing obligations on landholders to mitigate bushfire risk and how those duties, if any, are created, structured and enforced across different land tenures.

People interested in the legal responsibility of landowners to mitigate fire hazard on their land, in both Queensland and the other jurisdictions, will find the report of interest.
