It is considered that the proposed development layout is generally compliant with the relevant
requirements of the approved Bushfire Management Plan (i.e. DFS Group 2015). A slight
relaxation of the Inner Protection Area (IPA) width adjacent to proposed dwelling No. 10 is
required, and a 3m wide fire trail on adjoining land to be dedicated to Council will form the
Outer Protection Area (OPA), with the overall width of the APZ maintained at a minimum of
15m (with the exception of proposed dwelling No. 10 as discussed above). These minor
deviations from the requirements of the BMP are not considered to put future residents of the
development at elevated risk during a bushfire emergency, provided all other aspects of the
BMP are complied with (including a BAL assessment).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further clarification.
