    3. Potential Bush fire Hazard Assessment
    State Planning Policy 01/03 provides a methodology for ground truthing the Potential
    Bushfire Hazard of any site and immediate surrounds (see Appendix 1).


    As this site is not carrying any assessable vegetation, it therefore scores less than 2 and
    no further assessment is required.


    The very narrow and intermittent strip of frontal dune also does not qualify for assessable
    vegetation.

0
    The surrounds are landscaped gardens of neighbours or manicured areas with the Pacific
    Ocean to the east.


    Overall the Potential H. ushfire Hazard for the site and surrounds is ow and no ur er

    action is required.




    4. Risk Analysis
    While the Potential Hazard is a measure of the physical attributes of an area, the Risk is
    the potential for a fire to start and develop to threaten people or property in the area.

P
    Internally, the risk of a fire starting is non-existent as the entire site is already developed
    and landscaped.


    Externally, the extensive development in the Sunshine Beach area makes this risk also
    non-existent. The Pacific Ocean to the east has a narrow foreshore reserve which has
    some frontal dune vegetation. This is a low risk situation, with the likelihood of a nuisance
    fire being remote.


    Overall the Bushfire Risk for the site and surrounds is very low to non-existent.
