4.2     VEGETATION MANAGEMENT WITHIN ASSET PROTECTION ZONE
The Asset Protection Zone is required to be maintained in a low fuel state in perpetuity. Assessment
Benchmark 5 of the SPP Bushfire 2019 seeks that the site layout places the landscape and open spaces
within the site between premises and adjacent mapped medium, high or very high potential bushfire
intensity areas. This landscaping and open space comprises protective landscape treatments that:
1. Comprise only low threat vegetation (e.g., maintained lawns and cultivated gardens); or
2. Are designed to ensure a potential available fuel load is maintained at less than 8 tonnes/hectare in
aggregate and with a fuel structure that remains discontinuous. The vegetation contained within the
dedicated Asset Protection Zone shall satisfy Assessment Benchmark 5 of the SPP Bushfire 2019 and the
low threat vegetation criteria prescribed in Section 2.2.3.2 of AS3959.
