Kenlynn Castaways Beach BMP

11.0 Summary
The area of “hazard” faced by the proposed development is considerable, and the likelihood of wildfire is
possible, or even likely.

This Plan demonstrates compliance with legislative requirements of State and Local Government, and the
BCA. This Plan recognises and protects as far as reasonably possible, the environmental values of the
foredune complex. This BMP provides a site specific assessment, which demonstrates that lesser setbacks can
be viable for this development, as long as they are maintained.

By demonstrating that BAL 29 can be achieved, together with the other bushfire protection measures
outlined in this Plan, the impact of the development can be minimized.

Along with adequate water supply and emergency management arrangements, compliant construction under
AS3959-2009 and APZs to reduce the exposure of life and property to bushfire, these combined measures
assist prepare residents for the slim possibility of fire in the area.
