Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience – Technical Manual – A ‘fit for purpose’ approach in undertaking natural hazard studies and risk
assessments.

The Potential Fireline Intensity classes are determined, in part, from a combination of forest fire
danger index, slope and vegetation hazard class influences.
Council’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code applies to assessable development impacted by Council’s
Bushfire Hazard Overlay mapping. Under Chapter 2, Part 1, Section 8, Item 4(a) of the Planning Act
2016, where there is an inconsistency between a State Planning Policy and local government
planning instrument, the State Planning Policy applies over the local planning instrument. Therefore,
in this instance, the SPP Bushfire Hazard Areas mapping prevails with respect to the hazard classes
mapped on the site and the trigger for any assessment under the NSC Bushfire Hazard Overlay
Code.
