Attachment 7 - Bushfire Report · MCU18/0015

3.2      Vegetation Assessment, Slope and Separation Distances from Proposed
         Development




Figure 5. Fuel Zones Assessed Solid arrows show most likely direction of bushfire attack, dotted lines
represent ember attack. Contours shown are 5m.

Figure 5 shows the six main fuel areas assessed. The average slope is taken as 21⁰ Down beneath fuel areas 1,
2, 3 and 5; and Upslope for 4, 5 and 6 as far as they affect Lot 3.

Section 6 objectively calculates and determines the potential nature and severity of bushfire attack more
thoroughly. This serves as a basis for determining the construction and other bushfire protection measures
outlined in this BAL Assessment.

Fuel assessments were determined using the Overall Fuel Hazard Assessment Guide - DSE Victoria (Oct 2010).
