Appendix F - Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Managment Report

Bushfire Report



6.       Conclusion
The following recommendations are provided in relation to the requirements of
Council’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.

     •   Bushfire management area and Asset Protection Zone (APZ) have been
         designed and will be established and maintained. Each lot contains a
         sufficient building area to accommodate a dwelling with a predicted radiant
         heat flux exposure not exceeding 29 kW/m²
     •   Construction of building to meet construction requirements of AS 3959:2018.
     •   Provision of water and service to be in accordance with the requirements.
     •   The location of the proposed dwelling maximizes the use of existing cleared
         and open space while minimizing the clearing of native vegetation and its
         impact on the environment.

In conclusion, the proposed development has been designed and managed to
ensure that the exposure of people and property to unacceptable bushfire hazard
risks has not increased. The development will mitigate bushfire risk through
appropriate siting, design, and management measures. It provides suitable access
and evacuation routes for both private and emergency service vehicles, in line with
the nature of the development and the level of bushfire risk. An adequate water
supply for firefighting purposes will be provided, and no hazardous goods will be
stored on-site. Overall, the development meets all necessary requirements to
minimize the risk of bushfires to people, property, public health, and the
environment.

This assessment assumes that vegetation on the site will be maintained according to
the client’s outlined plans. Should the proposed development require the removal of
site vegetation to meet specific BAL requirements set by either the developer or the
client, it is the client’s responsibility to comply with relevant regulations regarding
native vegetation clearing.

Although emergency management arrangements are not a mandatory measure for
the proposed development, it is recommended that residents in bushfire prone areas
prepare a bushfire survival plan.
