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



▪       The Fire Engineering Assessment contained within this document is specific to this project. The findings and
        outcomes of this report shall not be used outside the scope of this project.
▪       The analysis is limited to the assessment of single / accidental fires as intended by the BCA. The fire scenarios
        investigated within this document may be representative of intentional fires caused by an opportunistic
        arsonist; however multiple fires, severe acts of malice intent, terrorism, sabotage, or by wilful interference with
        fire and life safety systems are considered outside the scope of this assessment.

1.5 Assumptions
The primary assumptions used to prepare this Fire Safety Strategy Report are outlined below. Assumptions are based
on practices nominated in the International Fire Engineering Guidelines and incorporate practical simplifications to
maintain a simple analysis that is representative of a real fire and life safety situation. Assumptions are:
▪       Only one fire will occur at a time. In the event of a fire within the building.
▪       All essential services, equipment services and strategies will be maintained to the operational capacity to which
        they were designed and will correctly function during a fire situation.
▪       Prevention of arson, sabotage, and acts of malice are considered to be addressed by security systems and
        management procedures for the facility.
▪       Occupants will become aware of the fire through fire cues from the alarm system, respond to the cue, cope
        with the cue and attempt to avoid the fire, as intended by the BCA for safe evacuation.
▪       All other components of the building not addressed within this document will be installed to the requirements
        of the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia applicable at the time of design.

1.6 Building Characteristics
The project involves the development of the existing RACF located in Noosa the location of which is depicted in
Figure 1.
