9           Summary of Recommendations
This report contains a number of recommendations relating to specific bushfire mitigation measures
and activities. These recommendations are summarised below for ease or reference (and may also
prove useful as a compliance checklist), and must be implemented by the relevant organisation
(either the developer, operator or Noosa Shire Council) both during construction and in perpetuity.

9.1         Construction recommendations
Once these conditions have been satisfied, they do not require ongoing management and are
taken to be satisfied upon completion of construction.

1. Upon Council acceptance of this report, provide a copy of this report to the local fire brigade
   for their information purposes.

2. Consider providing a copy of this report to Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for their noting
   purposes.

3. Carry out the approved development in accordance with the measures, including relevant
   asset protection zones and BAL construction provisions, identified in this report and as per the
   Bushfire Management Plan contained at Appendix D.

4. Voluntarily comply with AS3959-2009 for the construction of the RAC facility, requiring BAL-29
   construction for the northern façade of the building and the entirety of the roof structure (for
   the whole building), and BAL-19 construction for the western, eastern and southern building
   facades pursuant to the building shielding provisions at Section 3.5 of AS3959-2009.

5. Consider the design suggestions at Section 7.5.1 for all buildings to simplify AS3959-2009
   compliance and enhance the overall resilience of each building through design (rather than
   construction) measures.

6. Undertake all landscaping activity in accordance with the provisions set out at Section 7. The
   landscape concept plan for the site has been prepared in accordance with these provisions.

7. Any and all chemicals must be stored indoors and ideally within rooms which do not share an
   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
   fencing.

10. Avoid the use of timber retaining walls, instead using concrete, stone or masonry for
    construction.

11. Should water tanks be provided, ensure they are constructed of fire-resistant material and are
    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.
