    Zone has been introduced to identify
    areas that abut the property and where          Fire Management Units
    particular bushfire management actions
    are required such as the management of          Fire Management Units (FMU’s) are discrete
    firebreaks and fire management lines            areas usually defined by fire trails and/or
    with the objective of mitigating impacts        firebreaks and within which the management
    to those neighbouring assets and people         of fuel and vegetation is undertaken (see
    living and/or using those areas.                Figure 12).

Management objectives: -                            Tables 3 to 8 below provide a description of
                                                    each of the fire management units identified
                                                    within the Land Fill site.

Table 2 – Fire Management Unit 1
Description            This unit encompasses the Doonan Waste Management Centre including
                       the land fill area and all, structures within the centre.
                       Small areas of narrow vegetation which has been retained along the sites
                       southern boundary have also been included within the area.
                       This FMU includes the powerline alignment even while it is not on the
                       property and the small triangle of the property south of the powerline and
                       north of Emu Mountain Road
                       The western edge of the Unit abuts Unit 2 which forms both a visual and
                       dust management buffer to the Eumundi – Noosa Road and properties on
                       the western side of that road. The northern boundary abuts FMU2 and
                       FMU3.
                       The land to the south of the powerline alignment has also been included
                       into FMU1.
                       The structures in the north-western corner of the facility are located less
                       than 5 metres from the adjacent vegetation. While this structure is a
                       storage shed, it potentially contains flammable materials and substances
                       from time to time and as such are at risk from a bushfire event.
Access to FMU             Via the main access point from the Eumundi – Noosa Road and
                           internal vehicle roadways
                          Via FT1 which provides separation and access around he current and
                           proposed re-developed waste management centre service and
                           administrative area.
                          Limited access may be available off the round-about at the junctions
                           of Emu Mountain Road and Walter Hay Drive. However this access
                           may be restricted from time to time by access over and through the
                           table drain.
