         ATTACHMENT 7                  SPP 2017 BUSHFIRE HAZARD OVERLAY (Aerial overlay)




Adjoining Palm Lake Resort site to north-west is now cleared land with
gravel surface for Caravan Storage use. The retained vegetation is a 13m
wide strip located at boundary area on adjoining land north. The narrow
strip of vegetation is surrounded by Low Hazard areas to each side, with
discontinuous fuels. In accordance SPP 2017 methodology and Leonard
& Opie (2017) the strip is downgraded and patched to surrounding
predominant Vegetation Hazard Classes. The methodology supports
filtering out narrow strips and small patches of vegetation, to better
represent bushfire behaviour in this vegetation arrangement. In
accordance with Leonard and Opie (2017) the tree dominated narrow
vegetation strips surrounded by discontinuous fuels are not considered
to support bushfire of a Fireline Intensity that is considered to cause risk
to property or life (Low Hazard less than 4,000kW/m).

The current mapping for the patch of Medium Hazard is inconsistent with
unmapped areas adjoining the strip. The Medium Hazard mapping is
downgraded for this location.
