Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan v1                                    NCES REF: J000669
Lot 2 on RP131369 – 108 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain




1     INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background
This Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan has been prepared to assess and
manage the degree of potential bushfire hazard and associated risk acting on Lot 2 on RP131369,
located at 108 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain (referenced hereafter as ‘the site’).
The site is the subject of a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 into 2) development application to be
submitted to Noosa Shire Council. This assessment has been prepared to assist Council with
their decision-making process.

1.2       State Planning Policy Bushfire Intensity Overlay Map
The site is mapped under the State Planning Policy (SPP) as containing the following Potential
Bushfire Intensity areas (refer to Plate 1):
      ·    Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area; and
      ·    Potential Impact Buffer.




                                Plate 1 – SPP Bushfire Intensity Mapping Overlay

Under Chapter 2, Part 1, Section 8, Item 4(a) of the Planning Act 2016, where there is an
inconsistency between a State planning policy and local government planning instrument, a State
planning policy applies instead of a regional plan or local planning instrument. Therefore, in this
instance, the SPP Bushfire Prone Areas mapping prevails with respect to the currency of the
assigned risk classes and the trigger for assessment under Council’s Natural Hazards Overlay
Code.

1.3       Development Proposal
The applicant is seeking approval to subdivide an existing 5.98ha rural residential allotment into
two new rural residential allotments. Lot 2 is proposed to occupy 1.597ha within the north-west
of the site, and Lot 1 will include the existing dwelling and the remaining 4.38ha within the site.
Access is proposed via a shared access driveway connecting to Black Mountain Range Road.
The Plan of Development is included as Appendix 1.
