crossover.

b) fire access tracks between the development
and surrounding vegetated lands that—

i. are a minimum cleared width of 6m;

iii. have a formed pavement;

iv. have access at each end and in other
locations where necessary;

access easements that are granted in

The size and location of the proposed development does not
warrant the inclusion of a fire trail along the western boundary. The
threat of bushfire is from the south west of the site and access for
fire fighting can be achieved from the existing unnamed road to the
south of the site. This road is public land allowing access for Noosa
Shire Council and the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.
