                  Re:            Bushfire hazard assessment - 44 Hoy Rd, Lake McDonald


                 1          INTRODUCTION
                 I refer to your request for an assessment of bushfire hazards on land described as 44 Hoy Rd,
                 Lake McDonald (Lot 3 on RP 171041). The hazard assessment was prepared as part of a
                 development application for the subject land.

                 Figure 1 shows an aerial photo of the subject land.

                 The purpose of the hazard assessment was to:

                       i.    Identify and measure site-specific factors which contribute to bushfire hazard,
                      ii.    Assess the extent of bushfire prone areas (post-development) and calculate:
                             a. Potential fire intensity (PFI, kW/m),
                             b. Radiant heat flux (kW/m2).
                     iii.    For development within areas of potential fireline intensity or the potential impact
                             buffer (100m), assess Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) in accordance with Australian
                             Standard 3959:2018 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas (AS 3959:2018)
                             and Bushfire Resilient Communities (Queensland Fire and Emergency Services 2019).
                     iv.     Where applicable, identify management measures to achieve compliance with the
                             relevant assessment benchmarks in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme and State
                             Planning Policy.

                 The bushfire hazard assessment was been prepared generally in accordance with relevant
                 assessment requirements including Noosa Plan 2020, the State Planning Policy and Bushfire
                 Resilient Communities (Queensland Fire and Emergency Services 2019).
