1.0      INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1      Background

LandGraphics Landscape Architects were commissioned by BlueCare to prepare a bushfire hazard assessment of Lot 1
on SP177650 (4.66 Ha) and Lot 6 on RP901384 (0.868Ha). The bushfire hazard assessment accompanies a
development application for Material Change of Use of Premises under the Noosa Shire Planning Scheme.


1.2      Scope of the Report

The scope of this report is limited to providing a bushfire hazard assessment and recommendations for the subject
property. Where reference has been made to surrounding lands, this report does not purport to directly assess those
lands, rather it may discuss bushfire impact and / or progression through those lands and possible impact to the subject
property. The bushfire hazard assessment report should be reviewed every 5 years by a suitably qualified person.


1.3      Brief Site Description

The subject site covers an area of 5.528Ha and is accessed via Grass Tree Court, Sunrise. The site is located in an area
of low relief (plain). The Noosa National Park adjoins the site to the west. Burgess Creek flows through the National
Park.


The site contains closed heath and sedgeland. The site has a western aspect ranging from approximately 32m AHD on
the eastern boundary to 15m AHD on the western boundary.


The vegetation and slope has been assessed in four directions for each proposed building envelope. Where appropriate
out from the boundary of the subject land the slope class “most significantly affecting fire behaviour having regard for
vegetation found on it]” for a distance of at least 100m has been determined.
