Appendix I - Bushfire Hazard Assessment · MCU21/0146

                                                                                         BHA Report for17-19 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville




Step 3. Determine the effective slope in degrees under the classified vegetation
The classified vegetation is downslope at 2 degrees, calculated using a Nikon Forestry Pro Range Finder and Inclinometer.


Step 4. Determine the slope in degrees of the land between the site and the classified vegetation
The slope between the site and the classified vegetation is downslope with an average slope of 2 degrees.


Step 5. Determine the distance of the site from classified vegetation
Distance is calculated from the closest edge of the classified vegetation. Classified vegetation under AS 3959-2018 does not
include low threat vegetation. Table 1
Step 6. Calculations
Effective slope (°) - 2
Site slope (°) - 2
Distance (m) - see Table 1
Vegetation classification –– Melaleuca open forests on seasonally inundated lowland coastal swamp
Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) – 48
Surface fuel load (t/ha) – 15.4
Overall fuel load (t/ha) – 28.4
Heat of combustion (kj/kg) – 18 600
Flame temperature (K) – 1 090


Outcomes
Intensity (kW/m2) – 25 614
Radiant heat flux (kW/m2) – Table 1
