8.1       Bushfire risk mitigation recommendations: Considerations
As shown above, The proposed location of the house:
      •    Is mapped as Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity on the Noosa Plan Bushfire Overlay,
      •    Is mapped as Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity on the Queensland State-wide Potential
           Bushfire Intensity mapping,
      •    Is assessed as Potential Bushfire Impact Buffer Class with a site specific assessment,
      •    Is confirmed as being in a Bushfire Prone Area and
      •    Is assessed as BAL 12.5 for all building elevations.
Accordingly, this section will recommend bushfire mitigation requirements for the above assessments.
Legislative requirements are detailed in:
      •    The Noosa Plan: Detached house code
      •    The Noosa Plan Biodiversity Overlay Code,
      •    Australian Standard AS 3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas and

           supply for fire fighting purposes with fittings for fire fighting emergency services be installed.

8.3       Recommendations for Australian Standard AS3959
Australian Standard AS3959: Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas specifies Deemed
to Satisfy bushfire resistant methodologies based on the assessed Bushfire Attack Level.
   • Bushfire Attack Level for all building elevations:                   BAL 12.5
Accordingly, it is recommended that :
      •    The building solution for all building elevations address the Deemed to Satisfy requirements
           of Sections 3 and 5 of Australian Standard AS3959 - 2018 Construction of buildings in
           bushfire-prone areas.

8.4       Recommendations for the Noosa Plan Biodiversity Overlay Code
