piping is to be used. Any fixed LPG tanks shall be kept clear of flammable materials, and located on the non
hazard side of the building. Any gas cylinders which need to be kept close to a building shall have release

7.5       Fire Fighting and Emergency Management Arrangements

The development is serviced by the existing road and driveways for Emergency Services use. The creation of
Asset Protection Zone around both dwellings assists to provide defendable space for firefighters or residents
defending their properties at the time.

Obstructions within the driveway or around the rear of buildings should be avoided.

Residents shall be made aware of the existence of this Plan, and their need to comply with the relevant
provisions, in particular building construction, APZ maintenance, optimizing access around buildings and
emergency response preparations.

Residents shall decide on their Stay and Defend / or Go Early strategy before each fire season so as to ensure
this decision is not made too late, when smoke and emergency vehicles prevent an orderly evacuation.
Staying to defend is a viable and preferable option for the proposed development.

Residents staying to defend should ensure that they have adequate protective clothing , including full length
cotton or denim garments, sturdy boots, gloves, smoke mask (minimum P2 with valves) and smoke goggles.

Appendix 2 provides guidance for Residents’ Emergency Management Planning in relation to bushfire.
