Cooroy RV Stopover-Flood Bushfire Hazard-Management Plan_FINAL

The flood information indicates that during a 2yr ARI the northern section of the site will be subject to inundation.
This part of the site can be closed off as a gate will be provided to the access culvert and the site is effectively
separated into 2 sections with large boulders separating the area. There is an area to the south that would allow
for safe congregation in the event that the rainfall event and stream rises were easing. However, while the site has
sealed access, the parking area is grassed. Notwithstanding the potential for flooding due to stream rises, it is most
likely that in order to prevent damage to the ground surface, that the area will be closed for most of the “wet”
season if average or above average rainfall occurs.

2.2    Bushfire

The northern part of the proposed RV Stopover area is included as a “medium” hazard under the Noosa Plan –
Natural Hazard Bushfire Overlay.




Bushfire risk has not been assessed.

No open fires are permitted at the site at any time.

The threat would come from the north and not impact safe egress from the site.

As the site is within the urban footprint of Cooroy, it is expected that emergency services would provide direction if
a threat was evident.
