  Bushfire management measures are adopted based on
  ecological principles, which:
  (a)    maintain and enhance biodiversity;
  (b)    minimise threat of fire to the natural environment, as well
         as life and property; and
  (c)    provide for effective use and maintenance of buildings and
         structures.

  Editor's note—The performance outcome applies to properties in
  bushfire hazard areas and only where clearing is reasonably
  necessary for the control of bushfire risk to a building or
  structure. Bushfire hazard areas are shown on Bushfire Hazard
  Overlay maps in Schedule 2.

  (a)    along and around watercourses and drainage lines;                   sloping sites;

  (b)    on steep slopes and ridgelines;                               (b)   in gullies;

  (c)    along the major road network; and                             (c)   along watercourses and drainage lines;

  (d)    that forms coastal vistas to and from beaches.                (d)   within 10 metres of the major road network; and

 8.2.3              Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code

 8.2.3.1            Application
 (1)     This code applies to assessable development:
         (a)   subject to the Bushfire Hazard Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
         (b)   identified as requiring assessment against the Bushfire Hazard overlay code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables
               of assessment).

 (2)     All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

 Editor's note—Planning scheme policy 9 for assessment of natural hazards provides guidance on preparing bushfire hazard
 assessments and mitigation reports.

 8.2.3.2            Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)     The purpose of the Bushfire Hazard overlay code is to ensure that development avoids or mitigates the potential adverse impacts
         of bushfire on people, property, economic activity and the environment.
 (2)     The overall outcomes sought for the Bushfire Hazard overlay code are:
