 SC6.9.4              Bushfire hazard assessment report and management plan

 (1)    Where a development is subject to the Bushfire hazard overly code, a well made application will include a bushfire hazard
        assessment report, and management plan including the impacts of mitigation techniques on flora and fauna.
 (2)    In particular, compliance with the Bushfire hazard overlay code may be demonstrated (in part) by the submission of a bushfire
        hazard assessment report and management plan prepared by a suitably qualified person in accordance this the following
        guidelines.
 (3)    Bushfire hazard assessment report – the level of bushfire hazard shown on the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Map needs to be
        confirmed via the preparation of a site­specific bushfire hazard assessment report. A bushfire hazard assessment report is to:
        (a)   Include the detailed site specific calculations of the bushfire hazard score(s) for the development site based upon:
              (i)     A quantitative assessment of predicted bushfire behaviour including calculation of predicted fire intensity and rate of
                      spread using McArthur’s equation and radiant heat flux using a recognised model (i.e. the view Factor Model or the
                      Leicester Model). Calculations should be based on a forest fire danger index (FFDI) of 50 and maximum predicted
                      fuel loads to determine appropriate setbacks;
              (ii)    A qualitative assessment including discussion of past fire behaviour/history, any prescribed burning undertaken on
                      the site or adjoining sites, likely fire paths, site factors that would minimise or maximise fire behaviour, fuel
                      arrangements and loads, potential ignition points, fire run distances towards houses (or proposed house sites),
                      slopes and any other matter considered important in respect to the issue; and

        (b)   include a bushfire hazard management summary; and
        (c)   be informed by consultation with the local fire brigade and where the land adjoins Council, State or Commonwealth land,
              the relevant land manager.

 (4)    Bushfire hazard management plan – Where a site­specific bushfire hazard assessment confirms that a development site is
        subject to a medium or high bushfire hazard, a bushfire hazard management plan may need to be prepared to mitigate the
        adverse impacts of the hazard. A bushfire hazard management plan is to:
        (a)   state the purpose, aim and objectives of the bushfire hazard management plan (e.g. having regard to the level of hazard on
              the land, identify measures, actions ad responsibilities for the management of the hazard);
        (b)   summarise the results of the bushfire hazard assessment undertaken for the land, including identification of the various
              parts of the land that have been determined to be high, medium and low bushfire hazard areas;
        (c)   be informed by consultation with the local Fire Brigade and where the land adjoins Council, State or Commonwealth land,
              the relevant land manager;
        (d)   include consideration of potential off­site sources of fire hazard including particular land uses or physical features of the
              surrounding area (including details of properties within 100m of the land);
        (e)   address the impacts of the proposed development on the level of fire hazard experienced by other land in the surrounding
              area, including any land containing water, electricity, gas or telecommunications infrastructure;
        (f)   address any implications for areas of environmental significance including fauna and fauna, including steps taken to
              minimise the potential impacts of specified fire hazard mitigation measures;
        (g)   address the potential impacts of bushfire hazard mitigation measures on slope stability, and on water quality in local
              receiving waters;
        (h)   specify fire hazard mitigation measures, such as:
              (i)     elements of the development design; including the layout of roads and driveways, and the location, size and
                      orientation of lots and buildings;
              (ii)    specifications and materials for building design and construction in accordance with the Building Code of
                      Queensland;
              (iii)   fire fighting infrastructure, including water supply and storage, equipment and fittings, fire breaks and
                      maintenance/access trails;
              (iv)    potential areas of clearing of native vegetation based on the ecological assessment reports or environmental
                      management plan recently prepared for the site;
