Free Vicmap topographic maps for CFA members

 

Vicmap Topographic maps, created by The Department of Transport and Planning, are available statewide in four scales: 1:25 000 (A0); 1:30 000 (A3 and A4); 1:50 000 (A0); and 1:100000 (A0).

 

These maps are created using Vicmap, the State’s authoritative government data and are updated every three years.

From this year, CFA members will have access to a permanent coupon code and will be able to download Vicmap topographic maps at no cost all year around, instead of the usual two-week window. That means you will be able to download any of the 10,000 topographic maps statewide, plus custom maps at various scales, from Monday 6 October 2025. 

The maps show natural and built features including waterbodies, watercourses, contours, vegetation, roads, railways, buildings, and administrative boundaries such as private and public land.

Vicmap topographic maps are widely used by all emergency services, including CFA, facilitating efficient decision-making during inter-agency emergency incidents.

These maps are georeferenced, and can be used for navigation on the field, incident control management, asset protection, locating water sources, planning evacuation and escape routes.

To download maps at no cost, use the coupon code that will be made available on 6 October on Members Online. When the map is downloaded, it can be viewed on your mobile phone without connectivity, you can geolocate yourself in remote areas, take geolocated photos, track your route or drop a pin using a third-party app.
