                                                                          Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan




                4        Bushfire Management Plan
                The SPP requires that where it is not possible to avoid a bushfire prone area, development mitigates
                bushfire risk to people and property to an acceptable or tolerable level. This can be achieved through
                development design and siting, hazard reduction practices and emergency mitigation measures for any
                buildings bordering potentially bushfire-susceptible vegetation. These practices and measures include
                fuel reduction and management, road infrastructure to provide safe access and egress, appropriate
                building design and construction standards, procedures for fighting bushfires and fire intensity reduction
                management measures.

                The development does not seek to mitigate bushfire hazard through additional vegetation clearing
                beyond the development area boundary and shall contain all bushfire management and mitigation
                measures within the development area.

                4.1 Agencies / Persons Responsible

                The responsible fire authority is the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES). It is the
                responsibility of the proponent to ensure that the relevant measures required by this plan are in place
                prior to inspection by the Council and the building certifier, and to ensure that the measures are in place
                prior to enacting the approval. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the proponent to ensure that a copy
                of this report is always on hand at the site.

                4.2 Owner / Occupier Responsibilities

                It is the responsibility of the relevant lot owner to maintain each lot in accordance with the conditions
                outlined in this report. The owner / occupier responsibilities include:

                     •    An Asset Protection Zone (APZ) is to be established and maintained between the new wing and
                          bushfire-prone vegetation. The APZ is to be managed in accordance with the measures outlined
                          in Section 4.5.

                     •    All access routes are to remain clear of obstacles to enable effective emergency vehicle access
                          and egress; and

                     •    No burning is to be undertaken on-site without a Permit to Burn as issued by the local Fire
                          Warden (and approval if required, in writing, from Council).

                     •    The storage or handling of hazardous chemicals on the premises must not result in an
                          unacceptable risk to people, property and the environment. Hazardous chemicals should not
                          present a risk to or impose upon emergency services when responding to an emergency or
                          evacuation.

                4.3 Reporting and Auditing

                This bushfire report is a controlled working document that is to be updated and revised to reflect adaptive
                management and constructive feedback. Some sections of the plan may be modified, new procedures
                may be implemented, and responsibilities altered, depending on feedback and application.

                This bushfire report will only ever be modified with the agreement of Noosa Council. This agreement
                allows for changes to the plan scope, as determined through consultation and the acceptance of the
