4.1.4 Bushfire Hazard Overlay
North Coast Environmental provide a detailed assessment against the relevant Bushfire Hazard
Overlay code, concluding that the extent of separation proposed with the house site areas generates
an acceptable risk, with no increase in the number of people living within a confirmed medium or
high bushfire hazard area.

recommendations include 10,000 litre water supply within 10m of the buildings; use of the existing
driveway access route (no new roads or tracks required); and general property maintenance.
