potential fireline intensity greater than 4,000 kW/m (i.e. medium, high or very high bushfire
hazard/potential bushfire intensity). This mapping triggers assessment against the State Planning Policy
Assessment Benchmarks.

An excerpt from the SPP Assessment Benchmark – BPA mapping published on the SPP Interactive
Mapping System (IMS) is provided in Figure 3. The site and surrounding the site is mapped as
containing areas of Very High, High and Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact Buffer.

2.2 Noosa Plan 2020

The site is located within the Noosa Council local government area and is subject to the provisions of
the Noosa Plan 2020. The planning scheme’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay maps the site as containing
areas of High and Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact Buffer. An excerpt from the
overlay map identifying the mapped bushfire hazard areas in relation to the proposed development site
is shown in Figure 4.

Noosa Council’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay mapping designates bushfire prone areas for the purposes of
Section 12 of the Building Regulation 2006. The provisions of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) or
Queensland Development Code (QDC) are applicable to any building assessment work in a designated
bushfire prone area.
