2 ASSESSMENT OF FIRE SAFETY STRATEGY – RISK OF BUSHFIRE SPREAD VIA RACF

2.1 Introduction
This section outlines the potential for bushfires to spread via the RACF development and provides an assessment of
potential measures to minimise the possibility of fire spread such that it is not considered a credible risk or scenario
during worst-case conditions.

2.2 Exposure of the RACF to Bushfire
North Coast Environmental Services (NCES) have determined the radiant heat exposure to the site using the local
area hazard maps as described by the State Planning Policy mapping. The full description of the assessment
methodology is described within the Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan. The aforementioned report
also identifies that the building will be subject to a BAL assessment in accordance with AS 3959 as voluntarily
proposed by the building owner.
NCES have provided the following overlay map that describes the exposure of the site as a result of the various
Vegetation Hazard Classes (VHC) as identified on site.

The VHC have been used to determine the Bushfire Intensity Classes as identified in the following figure.
