             2. Are designed to ensure a potential available fuel load is maintained at less than
                8 tonnes/hectare in aggregate and with a fuel structure that remains
                discontinuous.
    •    The Lot 8 driveway corridor to the north and east of the Lot 7 building envelope be
         maintained in a low fuel load state.
    •    The extent of VHC 9.1 does not expand within the site.
    •    All future Lot 7 boundary fencing and any fencing within Lot 7 comprise either non-
         combustible materials, hardwood fencing, or a pine post and rail design. Pine paling
         fencing is not to be used. Any timber fencing does not fix directly to buildings and is
         provided with a minimum 1m separation comprised of non-combustible materials (i.e.
         a tubular steel/aluminium swing gate.
A further detailed description of landscaping requirements is detailed in Section 5.6
Landscaping and Regrowth.

6.3 Water Supply
The availability of a reliable water supply for firefighting purposes is a vital tool in the defence
of bushfire impact.
The new lot will not be serviced by the reticulated town water supply. The new water supply
to Lot 7 should therefore satisfy Assessment Benchmark 4 of the SPP Bushfire 2019, which
references the QFES 2019 Bushfire Resilient Communities document for information
regarding appropriate static water supply. Section 9.1 of Bushfire Resilient Communities’
states:
An appropriate static water supply (in bushfire prone areas where reticulated supply is not
provided) to support effective emergency services response includes a water tank that is
available solely for firefighting purposes and can be accessed by firefighting appliances. The
water tank is to be provided within 10 metres of each building (other than a class 10 building),
which:
a) is either below ground level or of non-flammable construction;
b) has a take-off connection at a level that allows the following dedicated, static water supply
to be left available for access by firefighters:
i.10,000 litres for residential buildings;
Lot 7 is expected to host residential buildings hence provision of 10,000 litres supply located
within 10 metres of each residential building on the lot is required.
Pumps used for powering the water supply are to comprise petrol powered pumps with a
minimum flow capacity of 7.5L /sec (i.e. Honda fire fighter pump etc). The tanks are to be
provided with a 50mm male camlock fitting to enable QFES to access the water supply and
be provided with sufficient hose length to circumference the dwelling. A 50mm blue lay flat
hose or similar is recommended. Plate 9 outlines an example of a reserve water supply in a
standard tank.
