Lot 21 on SP316902 – 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona



4    CONCLUSIONS

A Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared to assess the degree of bushfire hazard
and potential bushfire risk acting on the development of Lot 21 on SP316902 located at 25
Pavilion Street, Pomona. A Local Hazard Map has been prepared consistent with the State
Planning Policy – Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience – Technical Manual – A ‘fit for
purpose’ approach in undertaking natural hazard studies and risk assessments. The Local
Hazard Map has identified that the development footprint is captured within a Low Potential
Bushfire Intensity Area.
The bushfire hazard mapping in both the Noosa Plan and the State Planning Policy have
extended a Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity Area across existing cleared areas within the
site and the adjacent showgrounds and therefore the potential bushfire risk has been over-
exaggerated within the site.
It is noted that the western site extent is to be revegetated as part of the development proposal.
The extent of revegetation corresponds with Council’s riparian buffer overlay which is
separated from the nearest built element of the development (i.e. the Lot 10 building envelope)
by more than 100m and therefore will not introduce an unacceptable future bushfire risk to the
development.
As per the Planning Scheme Policy for Natural Hazards, if a site-specific bushfire hazard
assessment results in the development being located within a Low Hazard Area, no further
action is required as the provisions of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code do not apply.
