SUPERSEDED Reference Document - MCU22/0202

                                                                         Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan



                both adequate access for local firefighting appliances and adequate egress for residents and emergency
                services personnel away from the most likely direction of an approaching bushfire. Evacuations are
                available via the Entrance and Exit areas, where there is appropriate space for Queensland Fire and
                Emergency Vehicles to be able to turn around and provide defence against ember attack or approaching
                bushfires. The rear of the lot contains an appropriately sized fire break between the hazardous
                vegetation and the maintained gardens and lawns of the hospice.

                4.7 Electricity Supply

                The proposed development will have access to mains electricity supply. Where practicable, electrical
                transmission lines will be installed underground.

                4.8 Water Supply

                The site does not have access to a reticulated water supply. The proposed building will have the required
                minimum level of stored, dedicated, on-site water supply for fire-fighting purposes. The site has access
                to a 48,000-litre drinking water supply and an additional two (2) 5,000 litre water tanks used for gardens,
                and a 50,000-litre swimming pool, therefore complying with AO3.2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire
                Hazard Overlay Code.

                4.9 Climate Change and Fire Weather – Projections for 2050

                Climate change can act in two ways to affect fire behaviour. First, it is likely to exacerbate the fire-
                weather risk on any given day, leading to increased frequency or intensity of extreme and very extreme
                fire-weather days particularly within the fire season. Secondly, an increase in the accumulated fire risk
                over a year might represent a longer fire season and a reduction in the number of days suitable for
                prescribed burning.

                It is recommended to review this document and associated bushfire procedures at the site over the
                coming decades in response to any potential increases of bushfire risk from climate change.

                4.10 Emergency Response Procedures

                An onsite fire management and evacuation strategy should be developed and available to implement in
                the event of an emergency. In the event of a pending fire emergency, assistance is to be obtained by
                contacting dialling 000.
