Building works within land which has been designated under a power of legislation as being
subject, or likely to be subject, to bushfires triggers building design assessment under AS
3959:2018 (NCC 2019).
The Standard provides minimum construction requirements for new habitable dwellings and
habitable building alterations in designated Bushfire Prone Areas. The construction
requirements are intended to improve the performance of buildings subjected to burning
debris, radiant heat or flame contact. Building works in Designated Bushfire Prone Areas must
be built to the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) construction standard relevant to the building site
as identified by the AS 3959:2018 methodology.
Based on the setbacks provided, all future Class 1 buildings are anticipated to achieve a BAL
29 construction standard or lower. A specific BAL assessment will be required once building
plans have been progressed given the BAL relies on an accurate understanding of the final
footprint of the building within the individual building envelopes and is required to be assessed
against the active iteration of the Standard at the time of assessment.
