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




1     INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background
This Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared to assess the degree of potential bushfire
hazard and associated risk acting on Lot 4 on RP809059, located at 33 Pavilion St, Pomona QLD
(referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The site is the subject of a Reconfiguration of a Lot development
application to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council. This assessment is to be used to assist Council
with their decision-making process.

1.2       State Planning Policy Bushfire Intensity Overlay Map
The site is mapped under the State Planning Policy (SPP) as containing the following Potential
Bushfire Intensity areas (refer to Plate 1):
      •    Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area; and
      •    Potential Impact Buffer.




                                  Plate 1 – SPP Bushfire Intensity Mapping Overlay

Under Chapter 2, Part 1, Section 8, Item 4(a) of the Planning Act 2016, where there is an
inconsistency between a State planning policy and local government planning instrument, a State
planning policy applies instead of a regional plan or local planning instrument. As such the SPP
Bushfire Prone Areas mapping prevails with respect to the currency of the methodology used to
assign risk classes hence is to be used as the trigger for assessment under Council’s Bushfire
Hazard Overlay Code in lieu of the NSC Bushfire Hazard Overlay.

1.3       Development Proposal
The applicant is seeking approval to subdivide the site into 8 new allotments plus a drainage lot; lot
601. The eastern extent of the site is located within the low-density residential zone and is proposed
to be subdivided into 8 new residential lots. The western extent of the site is contained within the
rural zone and is proposed to comprise one large rural allotment.
Access is proposed via Majestic Drive associated with the recently approved and developed RAL
development to the south. The Plan of Development; Rev P, is provided as Appendix 1.
