and along the fuel control area. This path provides access also for Queensland Fire and Rescue Service
(QF&RS) turnout crews. Path must be signposted so that each building is easily identified by QF&RS
turnout crews and correspond to the information recorded at the Fire Indicator Panel.
In addition to the signposting, the management of all buildings will have, as part of their Evacuation
Management Plan, procedures for meeting the QF&RS turnout crews and escorting them to the alarm
origin.
2.6     Property Maintenance
To avoid any adverse impacts on the management of the covenant area, the Body Corporate must also
ensure the on-site manager performs property maintenance prior to the onset of the annual fire danger
season, i.e. before September.
Property maintenance is to include:
•     removal of material such as leaf litter from the roof and gutters;
•     ensure painted surfaces are in good condition with decaying timbers being given attention to prevent
      the lodging of embers within gaps;
•     check footpaths are in good condition with gardens not being too close and forming a potential
      obstacle;
•     check roof line for dislodged roofing material;
•     check screens on windows and doors are in good condition without breaks or holes in fly screen
      material and frames are well fitting into sills and window frames;
•     doors are fitted with draft seals and are well maintained;
•     door mats are of non-combustible material or are in areas of low potential exposure to embers; and
•     hazardous materials, e.g. barbecue gas bottles, are stored in a position shielded from bushfire
      hazard;
•     Maintenance of access gates to fire break, and,
•     Maintain taps, hoses and reels.
