Kenlynn Castaways Beach BMP

1.0 Introduction

This report has been commissioned by Kenlynn Pty Ltd in order to support the DA requirements of Noosa
Council (NC) for a proposed subdivision of Lot 71 on MCH2854.

Council’s bushfire hazard overlay mapping classifies the Subject Lot as “bushfire prone land”. The hazard
mapping is created from data that is collected remotely to combine vegetation data with slope and aspect
data, and arrive at a hazard rating based on a model specified in State Planning Policy (SPP) 01/03 (Mitigating
the adverse impacts of flood, bushfire and landslide). SPP 01/03 was replaced by Single State Planning Policy
(December 2013, current version April 2016) accompanied by A new methodology for State-wide mapping of
bushfire prone areas in Queensland (CSIRO 2014) with draft bushfire hazard mapping which also designates
the Subject Lot a “bushfire prone area” (BPA).

The designation by Council of land being “bushfire prone” has two main implications:

    1. It requires the production of a BMP which demonstrates compliance with Division 9 - Natural Hazards
       Overlay Code (in particular Table 13.9- Bushfire hazard areas) of The Noosa Plan (current version
       September 2013).
    2. It invokes the Building Code of Australia (BCA), requiring compliance with its bushfire related function
       performance objectives and with AS3959-2009 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas.

The Bushfire Management Plan demonstrates compliance with all relevant planning controls and standards. It
objectively determines the nature and severity of potential worst case wildfire in the area, and develops risk
mitigation measures to be used in combination with established construction needs in accordance with
AS3959-2009. It is the implementation of all these protection measures in combination, that demonstrates
the viability and conformance of the proposed development in the development application process.
