         Improvements:                      Residence and various site improvements

1.2      NOOSA COUNCIL BUSHFIRE HAZARD OVERLAY
         The north western extent of the property has been mapped within medium potential bushfire
         hazard area while the balance of the allotment is mapped as a potential impact buffer to a
         medium bushfire hazard area under the Noosa Plan 2020. The potential impact buffer area
         extends 100m from the mapped medium bushfire hazard area associated with vegetation to the
         west and adjacent to Noosa Drive as well as vegetation to the east between properties adjoining
         Picture Point Crescent and Alma Way to the east (refer Figure 1).

1.3      STATE PLANNING POLICY BUSHFIRE HAZARD OVERLAY
         Consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020 bushfire hazard overlay, the north western portion of the
         site is mapped as being subject to a medium potential bushfire intensity, while the location of the
         residence and areas immediately adjacent are mapped within a potential impact buffer under the
         State Planning Policy (SPP) bushfire hazard mapping (refer Figure 2).

         Table 1 below details the potential bushfire intensity classes and their corresponding potential
         fire-line intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.

2.0      SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1      SURROUNDING LAND USES
         The subject land is located within an urban residential landscape adjacent to bushland within the
         Noosa Drive road corridor. Vegetation also exists to the east of properties fronting Edgar Bennett
         Avenue and on freehold land further to the east and fronting Alma Way. The largest patches of
         hazardous vegetation present within the wider landscape consist of remnant vegetation
         contained within Noosa National Park some distance to east of the property. The SPP mapping
         shows a band of medium potential impact vegetation surrounds and partially encompasses the
         subject land as it wraps around the sloped land around the ridge on which Picture Point Crescent
         is located. A plan showing surrounding land uses is included as Figure 3.

2.2      TOPOGRAPHY
         The site ranges from approximately 50m AHD in the south east adjacent to Picture Point Crescent
         and falls to approximately 28m AHD in the north east. The existing residence is located on the

         higher portion of the site within the southern extent of the property. Topographical features are
         shown in Figure 4. The land in on the crest to upper slopes of a steep ridge with land falling to the
         north and north west. Slopes were estimated to be at approximately 30 degrees falling to the
         north west.

         (Source: Noosa Council Enterprise Mapping System)

2.3      VEGETATION
         The vegetation within the subject site in proximity to the residence is mapped as Category X
         vegetation, with mapped remnant vegetation located to the west and north west, including
         within the northern extent of the subject land. Figure 6 depicts the regional ecosystems (RE)
         mapped within the immediate area. The remnant vegetation is mapped as containing regional
         ecosystem (RE) 12.2.5 which is described as Corymbia intermedia +/- Lophostemon confertus +/-
         Banksia spp. +/- Callitris columellaris open forest on beach ridges usually in southern half of
         bioregion. However, it was observed that the vegetation more closely resembles RE 12.2.1 which
         is described as Notophyll vine forest on parabolic high dunes.

         A site assessment was undertaken on 31 March 2022. Bushfire prone vegetation is present within
         the northern and north western extent of the subject land, as well as to the east associated with
         Lot 27 on RP89506 and separated by several residential properties and a local road to the east.
         The vegetation within the edges of the property and downslope consists of a closed forest with a
         canopy dominated by Endiandra sieberi (corkwood), Elaeocarpus obovatus (hard quandong),
         Lophostemon confertus (brush box) and Ficus rubiginosa (rusty fig). The mid-canopy is dense and
         contains Cupaniopsis anacardioides (tuckeroo), Callitris columellaris (cypress pine), Cryptocarya
         glaucescens (jackwood), Polyalthia nitidissima (canary beech), Polyscias elegans (celery wood)
         and various other rainforest species. Due to low light penetration, the understorey has lower
         species diversity and in many areas is heavily degraded, being colonised by Asparagus aethiopicus
         (asparagus fern) and Nephrolepis exaltata (Boston fern). Vines were abundant in numerous areas.

         This would typically be described as closed forest or more specifically a notophyll vine thicket.
         Figure 6 depicts typical vegetation conditions within the assessment area.

3.0      BUSHFIRE HAZARD ASSESSMENT
3.1      STATE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
3.1.1    General
         The Noosa Plan 2020 requires a site-specific bushfire hazard assessment to be undertaken when
         a development site is located within a mapped Bushfire Hazard Area. The site-specific hazard
         mapping required by the Bushfire hazard overlay code is to be prepared consistent with the
         methodology adopted to prepare the SPP mapping.

         The State government have described the methodology used to prepare the SPP mapping in the
         following publications:
         • Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience –– Bushfire State Planning Policy – state interest guidance
             material (The Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, 2019)
         • Bushfire Resilient Communities. Technical Reference Guide for the State Planning Policy State
             Interest ‘Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience - Bushfire’ (Queensland Fire and Emergency
             Services, 2019).

         The preparation of a Local Hazard Area Map has been undertaken for the site in accordance with
         the methodology described in the above referenced documents. The input parameters used to
         determine the bushfire hazard acting on the site are detailed in the sections below.

3.1.2    Vegetation Hazard Classes
         Fuel loads are determined when preparing a bushfire hazard assessment. The Queensland Fire
         and Emergency Services (QFES) refers to the process for identifying, classifying and mapping
         vegetation hazard classes as a Vegetation Hazard Class Assessment. In accordance with the
         methodology outlined in Section 6 of the Bushfire Resilient Communities (QFES (2019), the
         following vegetation hazard classes (VHC) were identified within the assessment area (which
         includes a 150m buffer surrounding the location of the subject site):
         • VHC 4.1 – Notophyll and notophyll palm or vine forest which is attributed a combined
             surface/near-surface fuel of 4.5t/ha and a total potential fuel load of 5t/ha; and
         • VHC 42.6 – Nil to very low vegetation cover which is attributed a combined surface/near-
             surface fuel of 1t/ha and a total potential fuel load of 2t/ha.

3.1.3    Maximum Landscape Slope
         The slope of land underlying the surrounding vegetation is steep and estimate at approximately
         30 degrees and falling to the north west.

3.1.4    Forest Fire Danger Index
         The Queensland government produce a publicly available data package which includes selected
         inputs and information used by the CSIRO in conjunction with the QFES to prepare the State-
         wide Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) mapping (July 2014). The data includes Fire

         Weather Severity (Fire Danger Index - FDI). A review of the dataset for the subject site indicates
         that the site is located within a band of FDI 48.

4.0      LOCAL HAZARD MAP
4.1      GENERAL
         The SPP reference documentation sets out the following methodology for preparing a Local
         Hazard Area Map:
         • Categorising the vegetation within the site in accordance with the vegetation hazard classes
            derived from QFES (2019)
         • Using the patch and corridor filtering process to remove narrow corridors and small patches
            of hazardous vegetation
         • Subdividing the identified vegetation hazard classes into bushfire hazard sub-units based on
            slope differences and vegetation hazard classes
         • Assigning SPP Potential Bushfire Intensity classes to the sub-units
         • Application of 100m Potential Impact Buffers to the amended sub-units to derive an overall
            Local Hazard Map.

4.2      PATCH AND CORRIDOR FILTERING
        Section 4.2.6 of Bushfire Resilient Communities (QFES (2019) outlines the patch and corridor
        filtering process to modify potential intensity of small patches and corridors (based on Leonard et.
        al. 2017). The process involves the following three stages:
        • Merging small patches of a single Vegetation Hazard Class less than 0.5 ha;
        • Merging small Vegetation Hazard Class patches between 0.5 and 1 ha with higher or moderate
             fuel loads (greater than 8 tonnes/ha); and
        • Removing narrow corridors of vegetation less than 50m wide through a process of patch
             erosion and dilation. These small patches are merged with surrounding vegetation by
             allocating a patch to the Vegetation Hazard Class that is most common to the patch boundary
             (Leonard et al., 2017).

4.3      CALCULATION OF POTENTIAL BUSHFIRE INTENSITY
         Potential Bushfire Intensity is calculated by inputting the site-specific input parameters discussed
         in Section 3.1 into the FLAMESOL computer model. FLAMESOL uses industry standard bushfire
         equations and allows numerous input variables to be adjusted including fuel loads, fire danger
         index, site slope and distance to vegetation.
         The table below details the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and their corresponding potential
         fire-line intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.

5.0      SETBACKS
5.1      NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION CODE
         Performance Provision P2.7.5 of the National Construction Code which provides direction on the
         standard for construction requires a Class 1 building or a Class 10a building or deck associated
         with a Class 1 building that is constructed in a designated bushfire prone area must, to the degree
         necessary, be designed and constructed to reduce the risk of ignition from a bushfire, appropriate
         to the—
         (a) potential for ignition caused by burning embers, radiant heat or flame generated by a bushfire;
             and
         (b) intensity of the bushfire attack on the building.

         A designated bushfire area in Queensland is defined as Land which has been designated under a
         power of legislation as being subject, or likely to be subject, to bushfires. Both Council’s Bushfire
         hazard overlay mapping and the SPP both nominate the allotment as being subject to a medium
         potential bushfire intensity or within an adjacent potential impact buffer area.

         Section 3.10.5.0 Application of the Code states as follows:
         (a) Subject to (b), Performance Requirement P2.7.5 is satisfied for:
             • A Class 1 building; or
             • A Class 10a building or deck associated with a Class 1 building
             located in a designated bushfire prone area if it is constructed in accordance with-
             • AS3959; or
             • NASH Standard – Steel Framed Construction in Bushfire Areas.
         (b) The requirements of (a) do not apply when, in accordance with AS3959, the classified
             vegetation is Group F rainforest (excluding wet sclerophyll forest types), mangrove
             communities and grasslands under 300mm high.

         As the vegetation adjacent to the site comprises rainforest, the National Construction Code does
         not require consideration of BAL construction standards to apply.

5.2      EXPOSURE TO RADIANT HEAT
         While an assessment to determine construction standards under AS3959 (Australian Standard
         3959 (2018) Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas) is not required for rainforest, there
         remains a risk for fire impacts on the property on the basis of the local hazard mapping prepared
         as part of this assessment. Modelling has been undertaken to determine the exposure to radiant
         heat associated with buildings constructed on the site. The outcomes of the modelling have been
         summarised in tabulated format below.

6.0      CONCLUSION
         The Bushfire Hazard Assessment undertaken for Lot 2 on RP220514 located at 41 Picture Point
         Crescent, Noosa Heads has been prepared to assess the degree of bushfire hazard and potential
         bushfire risk acting on the location of the existing dwelling within the southern extent of the site.
         A Local Hazard Map has been prepared for the site consistent with the State Planning Policy –
         Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience – Technical Manual. The Local Hazard Map has identified that
         the existing dwelling is within a potential impact buffer area associated with the adjacent medium
         potential bushfire intensity area.

         Additional vegetation clearing is warranted to reduce potential exposure to acceptable levels,
         with vegetation clearing predominantly occurring to the north or west.
