Response to Info Request -Attachment 7 - Bushfire Report MCU18-0015 & RAL18-0001 · MCU18/0015

Any reticulated or bottled gas shall be installed and maintained in accordance with AS1596 – 2002. Metal
piping is to be used. Any fixed LPG tanks shall be kept clear of flammable materials, and located on the non
hazard side of the building. Any gas cylinders which need to be kept close to a building shall have release valves
directed away from the building. Polymer sheathed flexible gas supply lines to gas meters adjacent to buildings
are not to be used.


7.5       Fire Fighting and Emergency Management Arrangements

The development is serviced by the proposed road and driveways for Emergency Services use. The
maintenance of a mown or slashed grass surface throughout the IPA provides safe defendable space around
key assets in the unlikely event of bush fire.

Obstructions to access to the rear of buildings should be avoided.

Residents and site operators shall be made aware of the existence of this Plan, and their need to comply with
the relevant provisions, in particular building construction, APZ maintenance, optimizing access around
buildings and emergency response preparations.

Residents shall decide on their Stay and Defend / or Go Early strategy before each fire season so as to ensure
this decision is not made too late, when smoke and emergency vehicles prevent an orderly evacuation. Staying
to defend or shelter is a viable and preferable option for the proposed development if the site is threatened by
smoke attack or worse.

Appendix 2 provides guidance for Residents’ Emergency Management Planning in relation to bushfire.
