immediate interface or have windows directly facing a hazard source.
8. Ensure the collective range of bushfire mitigation measures as identified within this report and
illustrated at Appendix D are implemented to ensure the bushfire attack levels identified are
achieved.
9. Avoid timber fencing where possible, instead using metal, (pool) fencing, colorbond or masonry

located away from any potential bushfire source from which radiant heat may occur. Liaise with
QFES with regard to appropriate fire service fittings to enable fire brigade access to any tank.
For any potential underground tanks, or tanks which are not immediately visible from the street,
provide appropriate signage to enable their easy identification in an emergency.
12. Plastic gas fittings external to the building façade are not acceptable and must not be used.
13. Maintain the development site in a low fuel condition following site clearing and initial earthwork,
for the balance of construction and into maintenance phases to avoid inadvertent interim
hazard.

These recommendations must be satisfactorily built in to the relevant operational procedures
adopted for the approved facilities, ensuring they are carried out in perpetuity to ensure ongoing
bushfire risk management is addressed appropriately.

and maintain in a low fuel condition as set out at Section 7 of this report.

hindered by any ongoing activity associated with the approved development, and notify
Queensland Parks and Wildlife should any notable issues arise relating to the accessibility of, or
ongoing use of its trail network is observed.
7. Maintain the identified asset protection zones across the site in a low fuel condition, and
permitting vehicle access to all asset protection zones.
8. Ensure the buildings across the site are maintained, with wear and tear repaired and in working
