   5.3.2 Building Construction, Siting and Design

The appropriate design and construction of buildings enhance their survivability from
bushfires. Construction measures should not be applied as a stand-alone mitigation
solution but should form part of a suite of measures. This should also include APZ,
appropriate access, water supply and landscaping. Building design needs to ensure
adequate protection of vulnerable building elements. Construction standards are
outlined in AS 3959:2018 and the NASH Standard to provide various levels of
protection for different building elements.

The outcome of the BAL assessment is BAL-12.5 in accordance with AS 3959:2018
and the Bushfire Resilient Communities.
