Bushfire Hazard Assessment v3                                                  NCES REF: J001178
Lot 4 on RP809059 – 33 Pavilion St, Pomona QLD 4568




4    CONCLUSION

A Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been undertaken to assess the potential bushfire risk
acting on the proposed development of Lot 4 on RP809059 located at 33 Pavilion St, Pomona
QLD. A Local Hazard Map has been prepared for the site consistent with the State Planning
Policy – Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience – Technical Manual – A ‘fit for purpose’
approach in undertaking natural hazard studies and risk assessments. The Local Hazard Map
has identified that the proposed development footprint is situated entirely within a Low
Potential Bushfire Intensity Area.
Based on the plan of development it’s assumed the pasture areas proposed to be retained will
continue to be managed to resemble low threat vegetation conditions in perpetuity (i.e., VHC
39.2 conditions). At a minimum, no flammable bushland revegetation works should occur
within 25.3m of Lot 8’s dwelling BLE to ensure <29kW/m2 RHF exposure on the BLE (i.e., no
revegetation works should occur to the east of the proposed 10m wide Vegetation Covenant
in Lot 8).
As per the Planning Scheme Policy for the Bushfire Hazard Overlay and State Planning Policy
– Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience, if a site-specific bushfire hazard assessment results
in the site being contained within a Low Hazard Area, no further assessment or design
compliance is required.
Additionally, with regards to AS3959 a BAL Low outcome is expected to be assigned to all lots
provided the balance area on Lot 9 is maintained as short, cropped grass and the 10m wide
vegetation covenant is revegetated with a low threat rainforest species palette as specified in
the Covenant Rehabilitation Plan (CRP) submitted with the application.
