The evacuation route chosen will be dependent on the location of the fire front. In most
instances it is anticipated that the safest evacuation route will be towards the Tewantin
Township. A transit time of approximately 20 minutes should be allowed to reach either the
Tewantin Township or the Pomona Township. An alternative evacuation location could also
comprise Boreen Point to the east where the waters of Lake Cootharaba would offer refuge.

Determination of the most suitable evacuation route for a specific fire event should be made
with consideration to the relevant advice issued by QFES. Given the extent of hazardous
vegetation in the vicinity of the site and along the available evacuation route, the decision to
evacuate the site must be made very early to ensure enough time is available to safely transit
to the Tewantin Township or the safe location designated by QFES and/or QLD Police.
