Attachment 8 - Bushfire Management Plan

Report on Updated Bushfire Management Plan for             Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd
Undeveloped Area of Noosa Civic


4. Bushfire Hazard and Risk Analysis
The State Planning Policy Bushfire Hazard Mapping (SPP) places the development area in
high and very high hazard. (see SPP Map)


Onsite inspection and assessment confirms the following:-
   1. With the development of the (5) nodes the only hazardous vegetation will be the
        small areas of environmental covenants. These are too small and linear to be
        considered a risk to the development or surrounds. (see Potential Hazard Map
        after Development)
   2. The Open Space/Park lands to the south of the development is high hazard and
        with considerable fuel loads. This land burnt in 2003 and will burn again unless the
        fuel loads are managed.
   3. The lands to the east are National Park and high hazard areas. These lands will
        burn from time to time. It is possible for some minor ember attack to reach the
        proposed development but this can be addressed under construction requirements.
        The presence of Walter Hay Drive is a major separation for most of the site from the
        eastern National Park. Area 2 has some exposure but enjoys the power line
        clearing and only a narrow and small area of National park to the north.


The proposed development includes the clearing of internal vegetation with the retention of
environment covenants. (see Clearing Plan)


The connection of Hofmann Drive to Walter Hay Drive improves access and provides
protection for the internal development north of Hofmann Drive.


Overall, the risk of a damaging bushfire threatening the nodes of development is restricted
to the external vegetation south and south west of the development. (see Aerial
