Bush Fire Attack Level (BAL)
Step 1: Relevant fire danger index: (see clause 2.2.2)
Fire Danger Index (FDI) 50
Step 2: Assess the vegetation within 100m in all directions (tick relevant group)
Note 1: Refer to Table 2.3 and Figures 2.3 & 2.4 for description and classification of vegetation.
Note 2: If there is no classified vegetation within 100m of the site then the BAL is LOW for that part of the
site.

Step 5: Determination of Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Refer to Table 2.4.5 for FDI 50 Using the relevant table determine the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) for each of the vegetation classifications determined at Step 2, the distance from the site determined at Step 3 and the effective slope determined at Step 4. Select the highest Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) obtained above. The BAL for this site is: BAL: 12.5 Date of Assessment: 02 Nov 2021 Assessor's Name: CALOUNDRA BUILDING APPROVALS Assessors contact number: 0404 919 149 Work (07) 54914866 Mob: 0404 919 149 Statement: I have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the information provided in this assessment is accurate and reflects the conditions on and around the site and allotment on the date of this assessment. Signed: Date: 22/01/2022 Attachments: Notes: With all these situations considered and an assessment under the Australian Standard AS 3959 I consider this site to be a BAL – 12.5 The site has minimal vegetation within the proximity of the structure for bushfire and clearing is continuing on site so this development can be classified as BAL – 12.5 Bushfire Hazard.

Site Plan
Explanation and Example:
The site plan may be an indicative plan and not to scale. However, the site plan should show all vegetation
within 100m of the building and include accurate distances from the external element of the building to the
classified vegetation. It should also show all exclusions considered under clause 2.2.3.2 and the distances
(where relevant) between the excluded vegetation and other excluded vegetation or classified vegetation, and
the distances to the building.
EXAMPLE ONLY:
Building Site Road (see 2.2.3.2 (e)
Less than 0.25 ha, less than 20m width, ≥20m Vegetation more than 100m from site
from site or other classified vegetation (see (see 2.2.3.2 (a)
2.2.3.2 (c) & (d))
Less than 0.25 ha, ≥20m from site or other areas Allotment boundary
less than 0.25 ha (see 2.2.3.2 (c))
