3.5 Emergency Procedures
3.5.1 Management of Site Personnel
In order to appropriately mitigate the exposure of people to the risks associated with bushfire,
it is recommended to keep an accurate account of all personnel on site at any given time. In
the event of a Bushfire Emergency, it is imperative that all personal on site are accounted for,
assembled, and evacuated from site where required. Primarily this is to be focussed on
visitors to the facility, however it is considered prudent to also record volunteers, employees,
contractors and other personnel on site.

Consequently, it is recommended that a site register (e.g. daily sign in/out) be developed and
maintained for the site. In the event of a bushfire emergency, all individuals known to be on
site are subsequently able to be accounted for. This is both important for the safety of people
on site and for the safety of Emergency Services personnel in locating individuals potentially
at risk on site, in the event of a bushfire emergency.

3.5.2 Site Assembly
In the event of a Bushfire Emergency, personnel on site are to be assembled in a safe area,
prior to site evacuation, should evacuation be required. This assembly serves to ensure all site
personnel are accounted for, located in a safe environment, and not exposed to potential
sources of bushfire hazard on uncontrolled areas of the site, or exposed to potential
entrapment by, for example, being isolated within visitor cabins during a fire front.

Due to the nature of the site, the site assembly location is proposed to be the main dining hall
and kitchen building (refer Figure 6). This structure is centrally located, and immediately
adjacent site evacuation routes. This site has been chosen due to: location adjacent primary
site access/egress; being located in the lowest potential bushfire hazard area of the site, due
to the presence of managed landscapes in all directions; located adjacent 2 large water bodies
(dams); readily available water, power and communications; the recent construction
standards of the structure include steel fly screens on observed openings; and space to
