6 AUSTRALIAN STANDARD 3959:2018 CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS IN
BUSHFIRE PRONE AREAS (AS 3959:2018) SETBACKS

Building works within land which has been designated under a power of legislation as being
subject, or likely to be subject, to bushfires triggers building design assessment under AS
3959:2018 (NCC 2019).

The Standard provides minimum construction requirements for new habitable dwellings and
habitable building alterations in designated Bushfire Prone Areas. The construction
requirements are intended to improve the performance of buildings subjected to burning
debris, radiant heat or flame contact. Building works in Designated Bushfire Prone Areas must
be built to the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) construction standard relevant to the building site
as identified by the AS 3959:2018 methodology.

In this instance, it is noted that the western wing of the proposed Class 1 buildings (i.e., the
cabins) are located outside of the mapped extent on both the Noosa Council and State
Planning Policy designated Bushfire Prone Areas. Proposed building works located outside of
these mapped areas are not required to be built to satisfy AS 3959. However, as the eastern
wing of proposed Class 1 buildings (i.e., the cabins) are located inside of the mapped extent
on both the Noosa Council and State Planning Policy designated Bushfire Prone Areas, the
building works are required to be built to satisfy AS 3959
