1.4     Bushfire Prone Land
The Council's designation of land as "bushfire prone" carries two primary
consequences:

    •   It mandates the formulation of a Bushfire Management Plan that conforms to
        the specifications delineated in the Planning Scheme. This includes strict
        adherence to the Bushfire Overlay Code stipulated within the planning
        scheme.
    •   It activates the application of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the
        National Construction Code (NCC), necessitating compliance with their
        performance objectives pertaining to bushfire mitigation. Furthermore,
        adherence to AS 3959:2018, which governs the construction of buildings in
        bushfire-prone regions, is imperative.


1.5     Scope and objectives
The scope and objectives of this assessment are to:

    •   Identify bushfire-related risk factors linked to the positioning of the
        development footprint. This includes the probable direction of bushfire attack,
        hazard ratings associated with existing and proposed vegetation on and
        around the subject site, and planning separation from potential hazards.
    •   Recommend suitable protective measures to alleviate the risk posed by the
        assessed BAL in alignment with the State Planning Policy (SPP 2017), AS
