    Mitigation Measure   Requirements

                             West of the balance area - 10m wide (refer Figure 9);
                             should retain trees as clumps or islands and provide a tree canopy cover of
                              less than 15%;
                             tree canopies should be located greater than 2 metres from any part of
                              the roofline of a building;
                             trees should have lower limbs removed up to a height of 2 metres above
                              the ground;
    APZ – Inner              landscaping performed on site shall maintain the IPA effectively free of
    Protection Area           available fuel. Landscaping plants may be used in this area so long as they
    (IPA)                     are selected for their low combustibility, by virtue of high moisture content,
                              low volatile oil content, high leaf mineral levels, large fleshy leaves, and
                              absence of shedding bark;
                             landscaping plants should be placed so as to not provide either vertical or
                              horizontal connectedness of plant material, and avoid overhanging
                              rooflines or contact with flammable parts of buildings;
                             Any planted trees should be of species which grow to over 2m, to maintain
                              separation between lower canopy and the ground.

                             West of the balance area - 5m wide (refer Figure 9);
    APZ – Outer
    Protection Area          should have understorey managed (mowed) to treat all shrubs and grasses
    (OPA)                     on an annual basis in advance of the commencement of the fire season
                              (i.e. September).



Overall the proposed development design, as detailed in Figure 2 in this report, in
combination with recommendations referenced herein, is deemed in compliance with the
requirements of the Natural hazards overlay code within the Noosa Plan (2006), and
hence, Appendix 8 of State Planning Policy: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood,
Bushfire and Landslide, 2003.

It should be noted that the recommendations within this BMP have been formulated
based on site conditions at the time of writing and utilising current best-practise hazard
and impact assessment methodologies, and have been developed to reduce the
potential severity of impacts on the proposed development in the event of a bushfire
emergency rather than prevent impacts altogether.

Site occupants should seek advice from the local fire authority every 5 years (as a
minimum) to ensure the subject recommendations remain appropriate as site conditions
and hazard assessment methodologies may change over time.

Details of the nearest fire authority to the site are as follows:
