 8.2.3 Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code

     Application
     (1)   This code applies to assessable development:
           (a)    subject to the Bushfire Hazard Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
           (b)    identified as requiring assessment against the Bushfire Hazard overlay code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
                  (Tables of assessment).

     (2)   All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

     Editor's note—Planning scheme policy 9 for assessment of natural hazards provides guidance on preparing bushfire hazard
     assessments and mitigation reports.

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)   The purpose of the Bushfire Hazard overlay code is to ensure that development avoids or mitigates the potential adverse
           impacts of bushfire on people, property, economic activity and the environment.
     (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Bushfire Hazard overlay code are:
           (a)    Development in areas at risk from bushfire hazard is compatible with the nature of the hazard.
           (b)    The risk to people, property and the natural environment from bushfire hazard is minimised.
           (c)    Development does not result in a material increase in the extent and severity of bushfire hazard.
           (d)    Bushfire risk mitigation treatments are accommodated in a manner that avoids or minimises impacts on the natural
                  environment and ecological processes.
           (e)    Development supports and does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and
                  capabilities.
           (f)    Community infrastructure essential to the health, safety and wellbeing of the community is located and designed to
                  function effectively during and immediately after a bushfire event.
           (g)    Development avoids the release of hazardous materials as a result of a bushfire hazard event.
