Bushfire Report



6.       Conclusion
The following recommendations are provided in relation to the requirements of
Council’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.

     •   An asset protection zone has been designed and shall be established and
         managed.
     •   Construction of building to meet BAL-12.5 construction requirements of AS
         3959:2018.
     •   Provision of water and service to be in accordance with the requirements.
     •   The location of the proposed dwelling maximises the use of existing cleared
         and open space while minimising the clearing of native vegetation and its
         impact on the environment.

In conclusion, the proposed development has been designed and managed to
ensure that the exposure of people and property to unacceptable bushfire hazard
risks has not increased. The development will mitigate bushfire risk through
appropriate siting, design, and management measures. It provides suitable access
and evacuation routes for both private and emergency service vehicles, in line with
the nature of the development and the level of bushfire risk. An adequate water
supply for firefighting purposes will be provided, and no hazardous goods will be
stored on-site. Overall, the development meets all necessary requirements to
minimise the risk of bushfires to people, property, public health, and the
environment.

This assessment assumes that vegetation on the site will be maintained according to
the client’s outlined plans. Should the proposed development require the removal of
site vegetation to meet specific BAL requirements set by either the developer or the
client, it is the client’s responsibility to comply with relevant regulations regarding
native vegetation clearing.

Although emergency management arrangements are not a mandatory measure for
the proposed development, it is recommended that residents in bushfire prone areas
prepare a bushfire survival plan.
