Fire Safety Strategy – Bushfire Fire Spread Prevention
100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads QLD 4567



1 SCOPE OF PROJECT

1.1 Introduction
This Fire Safety Strategy Report has been prepared to document the risk of fire spread between the building and the
surrounding vegetation and therefore to determine and nominate a set of fire safety recommendations to prevent
the spread of fire.
The aim of this report is to document an agreed outcome that considers the input and requirements of the relevant
stakeholders. And to provide a set of outcomes through which the risk for bushfire spread is mitigated to an
acceptable degree.
The level of building fire safety has been determined by a systematic performance-based evaluation generally
complying with the Australian Building Codes Board and "International Fire Engineering Guidelines".
The project involves the redevelopment of the existing 2 storey RACF at Ozcare Noosa.
