Bushfire management measures are adopted based on                                                                  management for bushfire purposes has been incorporated into the
ecological principles, which:                                                                                      redesign of the layout and villa location in order to minimise the

     1.   maintain and enhance biodiversity;
     2.   minimise threat of fire to the natural
          environment, as well as life and property; and
     3.   provide for effective use and maintenance of           No acceptable outcome provided
          buildings and structures.


Editor's note—The performance outcome applies to properties in
bushfire hazard areas and only where clearing is reasonably
necessary for the control of bushfire risk to a building or
structure. Bushfire hazard areas are shown on Bushfire Hazard
Overlay maps in Schedule 2.
