7.1       Building Construction and Design

In order to avoid construction requirement above BAL 29, the minimum setbacks shown in Figure 13 will be
provided.




Figure 13. Minimum setbacks for BAL 29 to be viable on unshielded faces of dwellings

Future dwellings on Lots 2 and 3 and Units 3 to 12 shall be constructed to a minimum of BAL 29 on unshielded
faces. Shielded faces of dwellings may be constructed to one BAL level lower ie. BAL 19 under AS3959-2009.

Units 1 and 2, more than 25m from the vegetation being classified under AS3959-2009, shall be constructed to
BAL 12.5 under this Standard.

Any structure built within 6m of any dwelling shall also be constructed in accordance with this Standard.



7.2       Asset Protection Zones and Landscaping

Asset protection zones are the most strategically valuable defence against radiant heat and flame, and to a
lesser extent embers.

The landscaping plan shall maintain an “Inner Protection Area” (IPA) for the full setback shown in Figure 13,
effectively free of available fuel.
