Appendix B - Bushfire Management Plan

 (5) Development directly, indirectly and            The development slightly reduces the nature of the existing hazard,
     cumulatively avoids an increase in the          and site layout and landscaping on the site is designed to moderate
     severity of the natural hazard and the          the exposure of buildings. The potential for damage to other
                                                     properties is not increased as a consequence of the proposed
     potential for damage on the site or to
                                                     development.
     other properties, and


 (6) Risks to public safety and the                  Hazardous materials are not stored in quantities or locations on the
     environment from the location of                site which would pose a risk to the public or the environment.
     hazardous materials and the release of
     these materials is avoided, and

 (7) The natural processes and the                   The development maintains the natural processes and protective
     protective function of landforms and            function of vegetation that previously existed for the site.
     the vegetation that can mitigate risks
     associated with the natural hazard are
     maintained or enhanced.




10.0 Recommendations
    1. The proposed dwelling shall be constructed to a minimum of BAL 29 (Sections 3 and 7) under AS3959-
       2018.

         Any other Class 10a structure built within 6m of the proposed residence shall also be constructed in
         accordance with this Standard.

    2. The minimum 13m setback agreed with Council and State shall be managed as APZ, as described in
       Section 7.2.

    3. Water supplies will be installed in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Plan.

    4. Lot owners are aware of the existence of this assessment and their responsibilities outlined within it,
       in particular construction, asset protection zone and emergency management.


11.0 Summary
The area of “hazard” faced by the proposed development is significant, and the likelihood of wildfire at some
time is regarded as likely. Risk mitigation measures should extend beyond construction as outlined by this
Plan.

Along with adequate water supply and emergency management arrangements, compliant construction under
AS3959-2018 and APZs to reduce the exposure of life and property to bushfire, these combined measures
assist prepare residents for the possibility of fire in the area.
