5. EVACUATION LOCATION
In the event of a bushfire, guests and employees can shelter in place within the two large
buildings associated with the communal area measuring a combined area of approximately
2,105m2 (refer Communal Area on the plan of development). These buildings are positioned
near the centre of the site, 250m from the entry and >160m from the closest identified
hazardous vegetation unit (refer NCES BHAMP 20220.

The building is effectively removed from bushland hazards, including associated risk of direct
flame contact, radiant heat and severe ember attack noting humans generally experience no
significant pain from radiant heat emitted from a bushfire located >100m away.

The maximum park occupancy is reported to be approximately 306 people including staff.
Commonly used emergency shelter in place requirements is 1.5m²/person hence the central
communal buildings can adequately cater for shelter in place numbers. It is further noted that
the directly adjacent reception building will offer food and amenities thereby ensuring the
comfort of patrons during an emergency.

In the event of a shelter in place directive being issued, the 24/7 onsite manager is to ensure
all occupants, staff and visitors have taken refuge in the central communal buildings with a
record of such made in a residents and visitors register to be kept in the reception building of
which is directly adjacent to the central hall.
