Item 14 Appendix G - Bushfire Hazard Assessment-1.0 · MCU22/0094

                                                                                BHA Report forLot 4 Noosa Civic, Hoffman Drive, Noosaville




Site Access and Egress

The intent of design requirements for roads is to provide safe egress for residents and access for attending firefighting vehicles.
A road system that is compliant with guideline measures provides fire services with easier access to buildings, a safe retreat for
firefighters and residents, and can provide a fire control line where hazard reduction and back burning can take place. In
determining safe access to a site, consideration is given to the fire brigade vehicles which are required to access public and
private roads. Given the size of these vehicles and the poor visibility in which they often operate, roads need to be designed to
specific requirements, including road width, grade, cross-fall, weight capacity, passing bays and turnaround areas, all of which
may vary depending on whether it is a perimeter, access, cul-de-sac or battle-axe road type. Constructed access will be
available to Hoffman Drive.



Fencing

Fencing materials have the capacity to contribute to fire spread and intensity. It is recommended that non-combustible fencing
materials should be used.



Water Supply

Providing a sufficient water supply provides firefighters and residents with the appropriate levels of water to undertake
building defense. There are two options in which a house site can be supplied with a sufficient water supply; from either
reticulated water accessible via a hydrant, or a dedicated static water supply. Reticulated water will be supplied to the
development meeting the required statutory standards.
