EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A site-specific Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment has been conducted for a proposed new dwelling to
be located at Lot 8 RP854337, 267 Louis Bazzo Drive, Pomona, in the state of Queensland. The assessment
was conducted with reference to the relevant local council and state planning legislative instruments. The
BAL assessment was conducted in accordance with Method 2 of Australian Standard 3959-2018
Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas, and with reference to Bushfire Resilient Communities –
Technical Reference Guide for the State Planning Policy State Interest ‘Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience
– Bushfire’. This standard and guide are used to assess the potential bushfire threat and calculate the
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating for a subject building in Queensland. The BAL rating for the proposed new
dwelling has been calculated to be BAL-19.
