Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan v1                                    NCES REF: J000706
Lot 101 on SP168341 – 9a Jirrima Cres, Cooroibah



1     INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background
This Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan has been prepared to assess and
manage the degree of potential bushfire hazard and associated risk within Lot 101 on SP168341,
located at 9a Jirrima Crescent, Cooroibah (referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The report was
requested to determine the suitability of a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 into 2) development
application to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council.

1.2       State Planning Policy Bushfire Intensity Overlay Map
The site is mapped under the State Planning Policy (SPP) (refer to Plate 1) as containing the




                                                                                                       DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
following Potential Bushfire Intensity areas:
      •    High Potential Bushfire Intensity area within the western extent of the site; and
      •    Potential Impact Buffer throughout most of the site, with the exception of the access
           handle and adjoining area flanking the northern boundary.

1.3       Development Proposal
The applicant is seeking to subdivide the existing allotment into 2 Lots. Lot 1 is to be created in
the west of the site measuring approximately 1.82ha and contains areas of existing bushland
flanking the western boundary. A building envelope measuring approximately 2300m2 has been
proposed flanking the proposed eastern boundary. Driveway access is proposed to Lot 1 via an
access easement through proposed Lot.
Approximately 0.9ha of native bushland is proposed to be retained within Lot 1, corresponding
with the general extent of the intact bushland occurring to the west. The majority of the remaining
vegetation within Lot 1 will be cleared to accommodate the proposed development, access
requirements and bushfire setback requirements.
Lot 2 is located to the east, measuring approximately 2.63ha and contains an existing residence
and associated ancillary buildings.
Both Lots are to gain access from Jirrima Crescent via the existing access handle located to the
north-east. The Plan of Development is included as Appendix 1.
