Appendix I - Bushfire Hazard Report

                                                                                                             24


5.1     Safety Buffers
The final step for a site-specific Bushfire assessment in accordance with the SPP1/03 Guideline is the
inclusion of a safety buffer for ‘Medium’ rated bushfire hazard areas. It states that land within 50 m of
an area identified as having a Medium bushfire severity classification should be included in the
‘Medium’ bushfire hazard area. Therefore, due to the waterway corridor and areas to the east and
west of the site being assessed as medium, buffers 50 m wide adjacent to these areas have been
defined as Medium Bushfire Hazard Buffer Areas, as shown on Figure 8, below.

5.2     Overall Hazard Rating of the Site Following Development
S5 Environmental’s site specific Bushfire Hazard Rating for the site, following development is
predominantly LOW with 50 m Medium Bushfire Hazard Buffer Areas along the eastern and
western boundaries associated with Medium Bushfire Hazards on adjacent lands in these directions.
