minimises bushfire hazard to people and a) includes a house site area, identified on
property having regard to slope, aspect, the plan of subdivision;
existing vegetation and b) is of sufficient size and dimensions to
adequate separation from hazardous accommodate a dwelling and ancillary
buildings and use areas;
c) for lots more than 2,500m—
i. conform with the principles for house
site numbers 1, 2 or 3 shown in Figure
13.5; and
ii. are separated from hazardous
vegetation for a distance the minimum
of 1.5 times the predominant mature
canopy height or 10m, whichever is the
greater; and
d) for lots less than 2,500m2, maximise
separation of buildings from hazardous
vegetation.
S13.2 Residential lots are designed so that
their size and shape allow for efficient
emergency access to buildings for fire
fighting appliances (e.g. by avoiding long
narrow lots with long
access driveways).
