5.1.2       Noosa Plan Bushfire Hazard Overlay
The Noosa Plan (an IPA Scheme last amended in 2018) remains the applicable local planning
instrument. The Bushfire Hazard Overlay mapping under the Noosa Plan remains relevant pursuant
to the provisions of the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The BCA nominates local government
planning scheme hazard overlay mapping as the relevant trigger for the applicability of AS3959-
2018 – Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas. On this basis, the overlay mapping continues
to remain relevant in terms of building construction for Class 1, 2, 3 and selected 10a structures.

Figure 5 provides an excerpt of the current Bushfire Hazard Overlay map under the Noosa Plan. A
significant portion of the site comprises areas of ‘High’ and ‘Medium’ potential bushfire intensity as
well as the 100m potential impact buffer which covers most of the site.

5.1.3       State-wide Bushfire Prone Area Mapping
The current State-wide bushfire prone areas mapping which underpins the SPP identifies part of the
subject area as subject to ‘High’ potential bushfire intensity as well as potential hazard buffers. It is
noted the majority of vegetated areas identified as potential hazard internal to the subject site are
intended to be removed as part of the approved development. This is likely to transition the majority
of potential hazard exposure relevant to the site to ‘potential impact buffer’.

The mapping supports the implementation of the SPP only and is not triggered for AS3959-2018 –
Construction of Buildings om Bushfire Prone Areas pursuant to the Building Code of Australia.
