SECTION SUMMARY
A site specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment for the site and taking into account surrounding areas of
impact finds:
-All parts of the subject site are Low Hazard range, generally cleared with isolated trees or shrubs
and very low overall cover.
-Surrounding land in the assessment area is cleared or managed land areas that are Low Hazard
range, other than remnant forest area to the north-east. Narrow strips of trees surrounded by low
hazard areas are excluded per SPP 2017 methodology for bushfire hazard assessment. The narrow
strip of trees may act a windbreak, radiant heat barrier and ember filter to protect the site in a
bushfire event.
-Wet eucalypt forest north-east of the site is classified for hazard. The closest setback to the
vegetation is 82m from Site 229 and Site 230. Site 229 and 230 are in a Potential Impact Buffer area.
-100m is the maximum Potential Impact Buffer area for bushfire, per Planning and Building
Regulations. Site 221 to 228 inclusive are beyond 100m of the classified forest vegetation. These
Sites are Low Hazard range.

Bushland areas classified for hazard are at the periphery of the assessment area for the site. Access
and egress is away from areas of bushland classified for hazard.
