7.0 Bushfire Protection Measures in Combination




Figure 12. Bushfire Planning Measures in Combination (Source: NSW RFS, 2006)

Figure 12, taken from Planning for Bushfire Protection (NSW Rural Fire Service, 2006) illustrates that there are
other factors and measures which need to be integrated to mutually support one another to provide
protection against bushfire.

Simply removing the hazard (bushland) is one possible way of removing risk to life and property, but this
approach is hardly desirable. The safety of life and property can be achieved whilst retaining the natural
amenity and value of bushland areas, provided these integrated bushfire protection measures are applied.
