                                                                                                                                Peregian Beach Caravan Park




Performance Criteria            Correct access for Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) to all parts of the site at all times;
                                Firebreaks and fire protection zones are established; and
                                Fuel loads in parkland areas are maintained at acceptable levels.
Implementation Strategies       Implement the measures outlined below in accordance with the Fire Management Plan (Natural Solutions, 2007; Appendix
                                E):
                                       Bushfire setbacks / firebreaks will be established between the retained parkland and the caravan park. A 20m
                                       setback will be retained between flammable structures within the development and the retained (dry heath)
                                       vegetation. This should incorporate a 6m fire access constructed of stable material and which has access points at
                                       either end or sufficient turning capacity for a fire fighting vehicle at the terminating end. The fire trail must be
                                       accessible from the development's internal road network and is to be maintained at all times so it is clearly
                                       accessible by emergency services for bushfire management and firefighting purposes;
                                       Weed management and revegetation using fire tolerant / retardant species in the wet heath buffer;
                                       Fire hydrants to be placed between buildings along the western edge of the development (nominally 3-4);
                                       All buildings adjacent to the buffer to have roof sprinkler system installed;
                                       All building materials to be of highest Australian Standards for fireproof materials and construction (particularly those
                                       near the buffer vegetation);
                                       Leaf guards to be installed in all gutters; and
                                       Planting of fire 'barrier' species along the edge (interface) of the buffer and between buildings (e.g. Macaranga,
                                       Macaranga tanarius);
                            n   All firebreaks, fire protection zones/setbacks and emergency access points will be appropriately maintained;
                            n   Assessment and monitoring of fuel loads on the site will be undertaken by appropriately qualified personnel;
                            •   If necessary, removal of excess fuel loads (via manual removal or prescribed burn) will be undertaken in accordance with
                                recommendations from appropriately qualified personnel (i.e. site ecologist and bushfire expert);
                            n   No burning of waste or open fires allowed on site;
                            •   No storage or dumping of waste or combustible material in protected areas or within 20m of these areas;
                            •   Adequate and accessible water supplies will be on-hand for firefighting purposes:
                            n   Replacement landscape planting near the retained vegetation to consist only of fire retardant species;
