                         Ecological Natural Area Management


7 Bushfire risk management solutions and recommendations
7.1       Bushfire hazard mitigation recommendations: Considerations
As shown above, the house:
      •    Is in a Potential Bushfire Impact Buffer area on The Noosa Plan Bushfire Overlay,
      •    Is in a Potential Bushfire Impact Buffer area on Queensland potential bushfire intensity
           mapping,
      •    Is in an area assessed as Potential Bushfire Impact Buffer Class as assessed using the
           protocol of A new methodology for state-wide mapping of bushfire prone areas,
      •    Is confirmed as being in a Bushfire Prone Area,
      •    Is assessed with a minimum Asset Protection Zone width of 23m and,
      •    Is assessed as with a construction requirement of:
           ◦   BAL 19 for the east, south and north building elevations and
           ◦   BAL 12.5 for the west building elevation.
Accordingly, this section will recommend bushfire mitigation requirements for the above
assessments with reference to legislative requirements detailed in:
      •    The Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire Overlay Code,
      •    Australian Standard AS 3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas and
      •    State Planning Policy 2017.
7.2       Recommendations for Part E: Natural hazards of Qld State Planning Policy 2017
It is recommended that, notwithstanding that the proposed building location is in an area of
Potential Bushfire Hazard:
      •    The building siting, construction, firefighting resources appropriately mitigates the potential
           bushfire Hazard as required by the SPP
      •    The development does not unduly burden emergency services as there is good access for
           firefighting appliances, good fire fighting space, good water supply and contributes only one
           extra building in the emergency services area
      •    The building and the cleared and hard-standing areas decreases the severity of a bushfire
           on the lot and therefore does not increase severity of the bushfire Hazard and,
      •    There will be no hazardous material stored on the lot and
      •    An Asset Protection Zone with a minimum width of 23m is available.

7.3       Recommendations for Australian Standard AS3959
Australian Standard AS3959 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas specifies Deemed to
Satisfy bushfire resistant methodologies based on the assessed Bushfire Attack Level.
It is recommended that:
      •    The building solution for the east, south and north building elevations to address the
           Deemed to Satisfy requirements of Sections 3 and 6 of Australian Standard AS3959-2018
           Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas and
      •    The building solution for the west building elevation to address the Deemed to Satisfy
           requirements of Sections 3 and 5 of Australian Standard AS3959-2018 Construction of
           buildings in bushfire-prone areas
