      Fire Fuel Reduction
      Public Open Space post-dedication to Council
30.   After dedication of the Public Open Space to Council, fire fuel loads in each of the four Fire
      Management Blocks will be assessed annually. In the Fire Management Blocks where fuel
      loads exceed 10 tonnes/ha in more than 4 assessment plots, fuel reduction will be undertaken
      manually using hand tools. A prescribed burn within a Fire Management Block will only be
      undertaken if Council’s Manager – Environmental Services deems it necessary to maintain the
      ecological values of the vegetation. The applicant will undertake this procedure for a period of
      three (3) years after the registration of the final stage of the development.
      Private Open Space in Conservation Residential Precincts
31.   The fire fuel loads in the Private Open Space areas of the three Conservation Residential
      Precincts will be assessed annually. If the fire fuel load in a Private Open Space area exceeds
      10 tonnes/ha in more than 3 assessment plots, fuel reduction will be undertaken manually using
      hand tools.
32.   Prescribed burns will not be permitted, unless the Council’s Manager – Environmental Services
      agrees, in writing, that a prescribed burn is necessary to maintain the ecological values of the
      vegetation. Written applications requesting permission to undertake a prescribed burn must
      include an ecological justification supported by ecological data.
      Undeveloped Stages
33.   Following completion of Stage A, fuel loads in the undeveloped Stages are to be assessed
      annually. When fuel loads exceed 10 tonnes per hectare in more than 4 assessment plots, the
      fuel load is to be reduced by either a low intensity prescribed burn (provided that adequate
      firebreaks are constructed adjacent to all Public and Private Open Space areas, the school and
      the Stage A residential areas) or by the physical removal of the fuel load by hand or machine).
      Fire Hydrants and Water Points
34.   Fire hydrants shall be provided throughout the development in accordance with the Building
      Code (BCA) and the requirements of the Q.F.R.S.
35.   Each residential allotment that includes Private Open Space, or abuts Public or Private Open
      Space shall be provided with a 20 – 25 mm water connection and garden tap, located within 2
      m of the Open Space area. Each tap shall have a permanently attached 20 m long garden
      hose and hose reel. The installation and maintenance of these requirements shall be the
      responsibility of future residents, with the requirements included within the Residential Design
      Guidelines.
36.   For the Forest Cluster Precinct, 20 – 25 mm water connections and garden taps shall be
      provided at a maximum spacing of 40 m along its common boundaries with Open Space areas.
      Each tap shall have a permanently attached 20 m long garden hose and hose reel.
      Other Bushfire Protection Measures
37.   Lots 91 to 94 and 106 to 111 shall be totally cleared of all existing trees, shrubs and woody
      understorey plants prior to building commencing on these Lots. Grasses, sedges and small
      herbaceous plants shall be retained.
