Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan

Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan – v2                         NCES REF: ELK 2016-04
Lot 70 on M37807 – 28 Elkhorn Drive, Tewantin




The BAL 29 column in Table 2.4.5 above illustrates that a setback range of 13 - <19m is
required to achieve BAL 29 for the proposed new dwellings. The positioning of new dwellings
>13m from the eastern site boundary vegetation will provide a suitable outcome which
balances fire safety with the practical low threat of direct flame contact from surrounding
vegetation.

It is noted proposed Lot 9 provides 22m to 25m separation between new dwellings on lots 7,
8, 10 and 11 and the adjoining reserve vegetation. The new dwellings would therefore achieve
the recommended maximum BAL 29 setback and would in fact be positioned in BAL 19 (19-
<28m). It is therefore considered the subject plan of development provides satisfactory
building to vegetation setbacks based on current site conditions.

It is important to note continued fuel load management in Lot 9 is necessary to maintain the
current low fuel load conditions in the east of the site and to prevent bushland encroachment
