2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

(5)   If ASS or PASS identified in an ASS investigation is proposed to be disturbed by the development, an ASS management plan
      should be prepared. As a minimum, the ASS management plan is to detail the following:
      (a)   the methods of treating/managing soils;
      (b)   details of any pilot project or field trial to be undertaken to prove the effectiveness of any new technology or innovative
            management practice being proposed;
      (c)   details of the monitoring and reporting procedures to be established and implemented; and
      (d)   details of contingency procedures including accident/emergency response procedures, and performance criteria to be used
            to assess the effectiveness of the ASS management and monitoring measures.


SC6.9.4            Bushfire hazard assessment report and management plan

(1)   Where a development is subject to the Bushfire hazard overly code, a well made application will include a bushfire hazard
      assessment report, and management plan including the impacts of mitigation techniques on flora and fauna.
(2)   In particular, compliance with the Bushfire hazard overlay code may be demonstrated (in part) by the submission of a bushfire
      hazard assessment report and management plan prepared by a suitably qualified person in accordance this the following
      guidelines.
(3)   Bushfire hazard assessment report – the level of bushfire hazard shown on the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Map needs to be
      confirmed via the preparation of a site­specific bushfire hazard assessment report. A bushfire hazard assessment report is to:
      (a)   Include the detailed site specific calculations of the bushfire hazard score(s) for the development site based upon:
            (i)    A quantitative assessment of predicted bushfire behaviour including calculation of predicted fire intensity and rate of
                   spread using McArthur’s equation and radiant heat flux using a recognised model (i.e. the view Factor Model or the
                   Leicester Model). Calculations should be based on a forest fire danger index (FFDI) of 50 and maximum predicted
                   fuel loads to determine appropriate setbacks;
            (ii)   A qualitative assessment including discussion of past fire behaviour/history, any prescribed burning undertaken on
                   the site or adjoining sites, likely fire paths, site factors that would minimise or maximise fire behaviour, fuel
                   arrangements and loads, potential ignition points, fire run distances towards houses (or proposed house sites),
                   slopes and any other matter considered important in respect to the issue; and

      (b)   include a bushfire hazard management summary; and
      (c)   be informed by consultation with the local fire brigade and where the land adjoins Council, State or Commonwealth land,
            the relevant land manager.

(4)   Bushfire hazard management plan – Where a site­specific bushfire hazard assessment confirms that a development site is
      subject to a medium or high bushfire hazard, a bushfire hazard management plan may need to be prepared to mitigate the
      adverse impacts of the hazard. A bushfire hazard management plan is to:
      (a)   state the purpose, aim and objectives of the bushfire hazard management plan (e.g. having regard to the level of hazard on
            the land, identify measures, actions ad responsibilities for the management of the hazard);
      (b)   summarise the results of the bushfire hazard assessment undertaken for the land, including identification of the various
            parts of the land that have been determined to be high, medium and low bushfire hazard areas;
      (c)   be informed by consultation with the local Fire Brigade and where the land adjoins Council, State or Commonwealth land,
            the relevant land manager;
      (d)   include consideration of potential off­site sources of fire hazard including particular land uses or physical features of the
            surrounding area (including details of properties within 100m of the land);
      (e)   address the impacts of the proposed development on the level of fire hazard experienced by other land in the surrounding
            area, including any land containing water, electricity, gas or telecommunications infrastructure;
      (f)   address any implications for areas of environmental significance including fauna and fauna, including steps taken to
            minimise the potential impacts of specified fire hazard mitigation measures;
      (g)   address the potential impacts of bushfire hazard mitigation measures on slope stability, and on water quality in local
            receiving waters;
      (h)   specify fire hazard mitigation measures, such as:
            (i)    elements of the development design; including the layout of roads and driveways, and the location, size and
                   orientation of lots and buildings;
            (ii)   specifications and materials for building design and construction in accordance with the Building Code of
                   Queensland;
