 Vegetation Description                                 <29 kW/m² Minimum Setback

 VHC 8.1 – Wet Eucalypt Tall Open Forest                                     25.3m


As per Table 2, it is recommended that the proposed new dwelling shall be provided with a dedicated
Asset Protection Zone (APZ) with a width of 26m from the adjacent High Potential Intensity Area
associated with the VHC 8.1 vegetation surrounding the dwelling. This setback would also provide a BAL
29 construction standard to the proposed dwelling under AS3959:2018. Section 4.2 prescribes the specific
management requirements of the APZ.

The new dwelling is proposed approximately 10m from the eastern allotment boundary and 20m from
the southern boundary. It is noted that a 26m setback is not available to be provided within the extent of
the allotment boundary to the south and east. This is considered acceptable as the boundaries adjoin
