Figure 5: Proposed development location opposite potentially hazardous
vegetation. A setback distance from the nominal ‘Hazardous Vegetation Effective
Edge Line’ of 15.7m will achieve a Radiant Heat Flux less than 29kW/m2. The actual
distance of the proposed development to hazardous vegetation is 21.9m.


5 CONCLUSIONS

1. The Bushfire hazard mapping over the vegetated parts of the subject site and surrounding
   areas to the north and east is supported by aerial photography and confirmed by the site
   visit
2. The area of vegetation within the northern portion and along the north-eastern boundary
   of the subject site is an area of High Potential Bushfire Intensity as determined using the
   State Planning Policy – Natural Hazard, Risks and Resilience, Technical Report methodology
   after Leonard et al (2014). We note this reflects both State Planning Policy – Natural Hazard
   Risks and Resilience bushfire hazard mapping and the Noosa Plan Natural Hazard overlay
   mapping.
3. The area of vegetation in and surrounding Girraween Nature Refuge is also confirmed to
   be an area of High Potential Bushfire Intensity.
