Attachment 7 - Bushfire Report · MCU18/0015

Located between Edgar Bennett Way and Picture Point Crescent to the west, and Alma Way to the east, the
Subject Lot falls away to the east, supporting a watercourse in its eastern portion. The majority of the proposed
development is to occur on the western and southern portion of the Lot, accessed via Attunga Heights; with
new Lot 4 on the eastern side of the watercourse and accessed from Alma Way.

Cypress (Callitris columellaris) predominates across the site with associated midstorey band understorey
generally of high moisture status and low combustibility. The retained vegetation (shaded light green in Figure
2) is generally separated from other areas of unmanaged vegetation by roadways and watercourse. This
reduces potential fire runs to short distances with narrow front widths. Section 6 of this Plan objectively
models the potential worst case fire scenarios for the site.

The site is within approximately 2km by road of the nearest Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (Noosa
Fire Station, Cooyar Street).
