                     4.0 BUSHFIRE SETBACKS
                     4.1       GENERAL
                     The site assessment concluded that the proposed subdivided site comprises areas subject to low potential
                     bushfire intensity. While the proposed development site is located within a low potential bushfire intensity
                     area, several measures are proposed to mitigate impacts associated with bushfire where revegetation of
                     the site is proposed over time. The measures nominated will reduce the risk of bushfire impact to people
                     and property and have been determined with reference to:
                           ▪    Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire hazard overlay code and SC6.9.4 Bushfire hazard assessment report
                                and management plan;
                           ▪    Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning’s State Planning
                                Policy – State interest guidance material – Natural hazards, risk and resilience – Bushfire
                                (December 2019); and
                           ▪    Queensland Fire and Emergency Services. (2019). Planning for Bushfire Resilient Communities.


                     In addition, a response to the Noosa Plan 2020 – Bushfire hazard overlay has been prepared in Appendix
                     C).

                     4.2       SETBACKS
                     The proposed development is located within a low bushfire intensity prone area and accordingly, no
                     specific setbacks are required under Assessment Benchmarks nominated under the SPP. A minimum
                     setback of 10m is likely to be adopted between any structure and the surrounding vegetation to minimise
                     the risk of vegetation growth or storm damage impacting on any structures.

                     4.3       LANDSCAPING

                     For any landscaping introduced in this area, vegetation should comprise only low threat vegetation, such
                     as maintained lawns and cultivated gardens or 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.

                     To reduce the potential for bushfire impact to the development as a result of landscaping works, landscape
                     design shall satisfy Assessment Benchmark 5 of the State Planning Policy – State interest guidance
                     material for natural hazards, risk and resilience for bushfire, 2019, including the low threat vegetation
                     criteria prescribed in Section 2.2.3.2 of AS3959.
