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


5.3 Water
Area 4
The entire estate will have reticulated water with appropriate fire hydrants.

Lots 12 – 15 will each have a fire hydrant with a hose and reel along the outer boundary of
each lot adjoining the park land. These hydrants will be accessible for firefighting
appliances (i.e. accessible from the emergency 6m access road).

Area 2
The entire site will have reticulated water with appropriate fire hydrants. It would be also
prudent to have a fire hydrant with stand pipe for compatible filling with National Park and
Local Rural Fire appliances.


The siting of this water stand would be best decided following discussion with the agencies
involved.


5.4 Vegetation Management
5.4.1 Internal
The fuel loads of the environmental covenants should be monitored and managed to <8
tonne/ha. This can be achieved by mechanical means or where attached to larger
adjoining park it may be achieved by hazard reduction burning.

The fuel loads in Lots 3 and 7 should be monitored and would benefit from a periodic
hazard reduction burn (7 – 10 year intervals).

Lots 12-15 – 20 metre buffer
These proposed APZ’s (Asset Protection Zones) will be covered by a detailed
management condition. This will include acceptable uses and exclusions e.g. concrete
parking bays or similar is acceptable.

The EMT in Lots 12-15 will be managed by the overall Noosa Civic Management team.
This will include an annual preparedness timetable and necessary maintenance.

It is normal practice to reduce the bushfire hazard and risk in line with meeting Council’s
