2.   SITE AND HAZARD ASSESSMENT

     2.1.       Discussion with Responsible Fire Authority
                The fire management report has not been discussed with the Fire Brigade.

     2.2.       Vegetation Types
                The vegetation type predominate to this site are as scheduled in section 1.15


     2.3.       Potential Bushfire Hazard Rating.
                Site inspection and visual assessment against the State Planning Policy Mapping Methodology generally
                confirms the intent of both Local Government and State Mapping in that the area is in a Potential Bushfire
                Hazard Area, and the relevant aspects required for Town Planning and Building are to be addressed.

     2.4.       Building Construction
                All buildings situated within the site are in a Designated Risk Area. There is a requirement that certain Buildings
                within this area be constructed in accordance with the Building Code of Australia, which refers to either the
                Australian Standard for Construction in Bushfire Prone Areas or NASH Standard-Steel Framed Construction in
                Bushfire Areas.
                The levels determined effect the types and usage of materials in relation to the type of Bushfire Attack, which
                may occur as assessed under the Standard. The Level of Bushfire Attack is assessed taking the vegetation
                types, slope, and distance from vegetation into account. The most common elements affected are Windows
                and flyscreening, with some restrictions on cladding and timber types. A comprehensive breakdown is
                available in either the National Construction Code or the Australian Standard for Construction in Bushfire
                Prone Areas. Extracts of these documents are not provided due to copyright reasons. Full details can be
                obtained from your building designer or certifier.

                Note that the Building Code of Australia only requires Classes 1,2 and 3 buildings and Class 10a
                building associated with those buildings to comply with the requirements of AS 3959.

                Measurement from aerial photos indicates that Unit 10 only is within 100m of threat vegetation and
                must comply with AS 3959, as assessed as BAL 12.5 below. All other units are BAL Low.

                Note:
                The levels shown above are based on Method 1 of the AS 3959.

                The Vegetation management zone is described as all areas managed to a Low Threat condition encompassed
                by the distance between the building and threat vegetation from which construction levels are taken.

                The Vegetation management zone is the area between unmanaged vegetation (i.e., the covenant areas)
                and the buildings, existing and proposed.


                The distances shown above are horizontal distances, not measured along the slope.

                Construction Levels are shown as part of a comprehensive Bushfire Management Plan.

                They are provided for the end user of the land and its eventual occupants.

                They are not provided for assessment by Local Authority, in accordance with the Planning Act 2016, and The
                Building Act 1975.
