06/1354 - Formally suspend appeals period and submit following for consideration [As Published] · 132006.1354

SUMMARY

A bushfire hazard assessment was carried out on the parcel of land at 1
Laguna St in February 2006 before development. That Report made various
recommendations into layout and accessibility according to the Guidelines of
State Planning Policy 1/03 Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Fire and
Landslide (SPP 1/03).

Subsequent to development there has been some reduction in the fuel available
to fires due to site modifications.

The most recent development proposed for the site will reduce that fuel load
even further.

The Report which follows demonstrates that the bushfire hazard now affecting
the site is Low.

The required Outcomes and Solutions of SPP 1/03 are easily met due to the
small extent of remaining vegetation and the ease of access for firefighting
appliances.

A specific Bushfire Management Plan is not required under SPP 1/03 but
some guidelines for home occupants are included.

The most important recommendation of this Report is as follows -

It is essential that the vegetation along the unmade Teewah road undergo
regular hazard reduction burning.

This also includes a newly constructed rehabilitation area adjoining drainage
line vegetation.
