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.

         buildings in bushfire-prone areas

Recommendations for the Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire Overlay Code
It is recommended that:
     • The house is sited in a low hazard area in the lot and achieves a setback of 10 metres from
         any retained vegetation.
As the house is in a Potential bushfire Impact Buffer Class area and a reliable reticulated water
supply is not available, it is recommended that:
