2.0 Bushfire Hazard Assessment
The prevalence of Bushfire in the landscape is dependent on vegetation type and fuel load
available to sustain a bushfire. Bushfire intensity and rate of spread are influenced by fuel
load, (including type and extent of vegetation), topography and to a lesser extent aspect. Land
uses surrounding potentially hazardous vegetation, and consequently the connectivity of
vegetation communities, all influence the potential for a bushfire to develop and be
sustained.

2.1 Current Bushfire Hazard Mapping
A review of State Bushfire Hazard Overlay Mapping, as maintained by the Department of State
Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP), revealed the site is
within a potential bushfire hazard area (Figure 3).

To verify Bushfire Hazard mapping, a Site-Specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment is triggered,
and is addressed below.
