Bushfire Hazard Assessment v1                                                         NCES REF: J001481

Potential Bushfire Intensity classes
Table 1 details the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and their corresponding potential fire-line
intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.

3.3    Bushfire Hazard Sub-Units
Plan BF02 – Sub-Units identifies the site scale Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and data tables
across the site. Plan BF02 identifies that only Low Potential Bushfire Intensity areas occur within the
assessment area.
Note: Sub Units 1 & 2 comprise VHC’s which are designated as either Prone Type 2 – Grassfire
prone or Prone Type 3 – Low hazard. Section 7.5.2, 7.6 & Figure 14 of Bushfire Resilient
Communities 2019 identifies Prone Type 2 & 3 VHC’s as non-bushfire prone VHC’s. Therefore, Sub
Units 1 & 2 were mapped as Low Potential Bushfire Intensity classes on Plan BF02.

3.4    Overall Local Hazard Map
Plan BF03 – Local Hazard Map identifies the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes across the site and
includes a 100m wide Potential Impact Buffer.
The Local Hazard Map confirms the proposed development is located within a Low Potential Bushfire
Intensity area.
The Local Hazard Map presented in Plan BF03 is to supersede the SPP broadscale mapping
attributed to the site and should be used to guide the formulation of appropriate site-based bushfire
management measures for the proposal.
