Martoo Planning Report

                                                                                    proposal report




     5. Retained vegetation required to be maintained by regular maintenance particularly prior to
     the bushfire season in South-east Queensland, September to December.
     6. The construction of a 2.5-metre-high non-flammable fence is to be constructed along the
     eastern boundary of the site. We note the likelihood that there would be a significant need for
     ground dwelling fauna movement between the subject site and Lomandra Place Bushland
     Reserve is low and as such there may not be any requirement to allow for fauna movement
     under or around the fence.
     7. Vehicular access to be provided around buildings to enable access for Emergency
     Services.
     8. The facility be connected to reticulated water and a hydrant standpipe be located in the
     northern and central parts of the proposed development area to allow rapid access for
     reticulated water by Emergency services for structural and vegetation fires.
     9. If an emergency response plan has not been produced or has not been reviewed within
     the last 5 years, it be reviewed or if none exists, one be prepared, to provide clear and
     concise instructions and response for staff and residents should a bushfire event threaten the
     site. We note the main threat will be from smoke rather than direct flame attack.

The proposed development has provided the relevant setback of 14.1 metres and can comply with
all other recommendations.
