4.4. Vegetation Hazard Class and Fuel Loads

State Vegetation Hazard Class (VHC) mapping identifies Vegetation Hazard Classes with respect to bushfire,
refer Figure 5. The SPP’s technical reference guide for State Interest Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience
– Bushfire, Bushfire Resilient Communities (BRC) prescribes potential fuel loads for each VHC, refer Table
1.

Mapped VHCs are generally consistent with the identified and classified Vegetation Plots. Mapped VHC 16.1
is indicative of the vegetation present within Plot 1, particularly after the APZ has been established, has the
highest potential fuel loads within the assessment area for this vegetation type; and therefore, has been used
for Plot 1 calculation as a precautionary measure.
