Attachment 5 - Bushfire Management Plan (Updated) August 2020 · OPW20/0145

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



It is proposed to provide an alternative emergency bushfire egress onto Walter Hay Drive.
(see Plan C) This will ensure safe exit should there be any threat from the National Park
to the east.

Internally, any development design would include a perimeter road around the eastern and
northern boundary to provide adequate separation to achieve a maximum Construction
Standard of BAL 29 under AS3959-2018.

There is also the capacity for an emergency pedestrian access out to the existing bikeway
to the north to provide access to the existing Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. This has been
confirmed as achievable over the existing stormwater device.


5.2 Bushfire Buffers / Firebreaks
Area 4
   •   Walter Hay Drive provides a substantial buffer from the National Park to the east.
   •   The zone adjoining the Council Park at Lots 12 – 15 requires a 20m buffer from
       development. This land will be cleared and will be used for car parks and access.
       No building can be constructed in this area. (see Diagram B) This will include a 6
       metre emergency access linking Hofmann Drive with Walter Hay Drive.
   •   This 20 metre separation will be achieved with 14 metres of hardstand with the
       emergency access.

Area 2
   •   The small area of National Park to the north of the subject site (i.e. 1ha) would
       benefit from a periodic (every 7-10 years) cooperative hazard reduction burn. This
       is not essential but National Parks have a responsibility to abate the hazard and
       have indicated a willingness to list the area for treatment.
   •   It is essential that the area under the power line be managed as manicured
       grassland as is the current practice.
   •   Perimeter roading along the eastern and northern edges of the development will
       confirm adequate separation.
