‘Table 5 ~ Table 8.2.3.3 Bushfire Hazard Areas — Part 8 Overlay Code Noosa Plan 2020

Safety of people and property

 

Pot
Development maintains the safety of people and
property from the adverse impacts of bushfire.

A014
Development which will materially increase the number of people
living or congregating on premises, including reconfiguring a lot, is not
located within a medium or high bushfire hazard area.

A01.2
Development maximises setbacks from hazardous vegetation to
achieve an acceptable risk.

Editor's Note —PSP8 Natural Hazards provides guidance for
assessing bushfire hazard risk and preparing a bushfire hazard
management plan.

This Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan has been prepared to
maintain the safety of people and property from the adverse impacts of bushfire.

AO1.1 ~ The proposed development footprint is entirely located outside of a
mapped medium or high bushfire hazard area as depicted on the Local Hazard
‘Area Map Plan BF03.

AO1.2 - The development has provided minimum setbacks between the
proposed buildings and hazardous vegetation to achieve the SPP Assessment
Benchmark 3 ‘vulnerable use ‘criteria of <10kWim? radiant heat flux exposure
(refer Plan BFO4). This setback achieves an acceptable risk where all the
mitigation measures detailed within this report are employed.

 

Impact on Ecologically Important Areas

 

poz
Bushfire mitigation measures do not adversely impact
on:

a) biodiversity values, connectivity and ecosystem
functioning; and

b) the long term physical integrity of waterways, wetland
and areas of native vegetation.

 

No acceptable outcome provided

PO2 - The bushfire mitigation measures prescribed herein will not adversely
impact on biodiversity values, connectivity, ecosystem functioning, and the long-
term physical integrity of waterways, wetlands and areas of native vegetation,

Minor edge clearing of an existing modified vegetation unit may be required
along the roadway to ensure the risk of access/egress becoming constrained
during a bushfire eventis low (i.e., to establish the recommended minimum 10m
wide cleared area, inclusive of the roadway).

 

Water Supply for Fire Fighting Purposes

 

PO3

Development provides an adequate water supply for
firefighting purpose which is reliable, safely located and
freely accessible.

03.1
Premises are connected to the reticulated water supply.

Editor's note—For reconfiguring a lot, water supply needs to provide
for a minimum flow and pressure of 10 litres a second at 200kPa at all
times for firefighting purposes.

OR

A03.2
Where there is no available reticulated water supply, the premises
has:

a) an accessible dam, swimming pool or water tank available for
firefighting purposes with an onsite water volume of not less than
5,000 litres; and

b) a water supply outlet pipe 50 millimetres in diameter fitted with a
standard fire brigade fitting connected to the water supply (other than
where the water supply is in a swimming pool or dam).

AO3.1 — No reticulated water is currently available to the site. The water supply
requirements of SPP Assessment Benchmark 4 prevails; 10,000KL per new
building located within a confirmed bushfire prone area.

Only the eastern wing of cabins (7 cabins total) is captured within a confirmed
bushfire prone area (refer Plate 20). The approximately footprint of all 7 cabins
captured within the confirmed bushfire prone area is 320m which is about the
size of a single large residential building. Therefore, the provision of 10,000 litres
to service all 7 cabins is sufficient.

Itis noted that a 300,000 litres tank is proposed adjacent to the southeast
easter wing of cabins. The required 10,000 litres can be provided within this
larger tank or alternatively as a separate 10,000 litres tank which should be
located centrally to all cabins.

The 10,000 litres supply is to be reserved for firefighting purposes only to be
shared between 2 cabins. Plate 21 outlines an example of reserve water supply
in a standard tank.

Note, the reliance upon dams or pools for water storage is not an acceptable
solution under the SPP.
