1.1      INTRODUCTION
This site specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment for 19 and 20 Trading Post Road, Cooroy, Queensland,
has been commissioned by Palm Lake Works, as supporting information for an application to Noosa
Council for a Material Change of Use and to address the Information Request (dated 13 December
2017), Item 11 Bushfire issue.

The site is mapped as designated bushfire prone land, with a Bushfire Hazard Overlay in the Noosa
Plan and State Planning Policy Interactive Mapping System (SPP 2017). Mapping of bushfire hazard
areas on Council and SPP maps indicates areas of Medium Potential Bushfire Hazard, where there
are currently cleared land areas. This assessment seeks to update mapping for these cleared land
zones and review other areas mapped in the Bushfire Overlay. Requirements for Bushfire
Management zones and established clearings are reviewed in respect to the proposal.

The site specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of updated State Planning Policy SPP 2017, where this is the current methodology for
mapping Bushfire prone areas in Queensland and is considered to have greater accuracy than the
                                                                                                                 2




SPP 1/03 Guideline referenced in The Noosa Plan. The methodology is in accordance with that
                                                                                                                 Page
