Lot design
O13 Lot design and building siting          S13.1 Each residential lot—                    Not applicable
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).
