3.3    Potential Bushfire Intensity classes
Table 1 details the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and their corresponding potential fire-line
intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.

3.4    Bushfire Hazard Sub-Units
A sub-unit level Local Hazard Area Map has been prepared; Plan No. BF02 – Sub-Units and
identifies the site scale Potential Bushfire Intensity classes across the site. The sub-unit level Local
Hazard Area Map identifies High and Medium potential bushfire intensity areas to the west of the
proposed development footprint.
Sub Units 1 & 4-7 comprise VHC’s which are classified as either Prone Type 2 – Grass fire prone or
Prone Type 3 – Low hazard. As per Section 7.5.2, 7.6 & Figure 14 of Bushfire Resilient Communities
2019, Prone Type 2 and 3 VHC’s are not considered bushfire prone VHC’s. Therefore, Sub Units 1
& 4-7 were mapped as Low Potential Bushfire Intensity classes on Plan No. BF02.
The revegetated 10m wide linear strips of vegetation (both onsite and offsite to the south) are of
insufficient scale to be mapped as individual units (i.e., below the 25m minimum mapping scale width
of the SPP mapping system) and have therefore been absorbed into the adjoining units of VHC 39.2
& VHC 42.6.

3.5    Overall Local Hazard Map
An overall Local Hazard Map has been prepared; Plan No. BF03 – Local Hazard Map and identifies
the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes across the site as well as associated 100m wide Potential
Impact Buffer areas. The Local Hazard Area Map identifies that the proposed development footprint
is located within a Low Potential Bushfire Intensity Area.
The Local Hazard Map presented in Plan No. BF03 is to supersede the SPP broadscale mapping
attributed to the site and should be used to guide the formulation of appropriate site-based bushfire
management measures for the proposal.
