4.1       Fire History and Frequency

This study found several indicators of prior fire, dating back more than 30 years. Recurrence of fire at some
time has to be regarded as possible, potentially coinciding with maximum fuel accumulation and worst case
fire weather conditions.

5.0 Specific risk factors associated with the development
proposal
5.1       Nature of activities anticipated on site

Normal residential activities are anticipated to occur in the area, which includes the potential inclination of
juveniles and others to make temporary “camps” in bushland, and others to undertake acts of deliberate
arson. The number of fire incidents expected by QFES varies in direct proportion to the numbers of people
present. The proposed development makes no change to the number of people living in the area.

5.2       Numbers of people likely to be present

On average, up to 2 - 4 residents could be expected to be present on each of the 2 Lots. The proposed
development does not add to the number of people living in the area or potentially exposed to the possibility
of unplanned fire.
