Bushfire Hazard Assessment

Bushfire Hazard Assessment
14 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads




1 INTRODUCTION
The following Bushfire Hazard Assessment (BHA) has been prepared by Litoria Consulting
on behalf of Calile Malouf Investments for land described as 14 Serenity Close, Noosa
Heads Qld (Lots 10 and 11 on SP 195871) (the subject land). Figure 1 (Map 1) shows an aerial
photo of the site.

The Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared as part of an application to change an
existing approval (Council Application Ref.: 132008.176.03, dated 9 February 2017).

The purpose of the BHA was to:

   i.   Identify and measure site-specific factors which contribute to bushfire hazard,
  ii.   Assess the extent of bushfire prone areas (post-development) and calculate:
           a. Potential fire intensity (PFI, kW/m),
           b. Radiant heat flux (kW/m2).
           c. For development within areas of potential fireline intensity or the potential
               impact buffer (100m), assess Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) in accordance
               with Australian Standard 3959:2018 Construction of buildings in bushfire-
               prone areas (AS 3959:2018).
 iii.   Where applicable, identify management measures to achieve compliance with the
        hazard and risk outcomes sought by:
           a. State Planning Policy (SPP),
           b. Noosa Plan (2020).

The BHA has been prepared generally in accordance with the State Planning Policy and
relevant Noosa Plan requirements.

The report is divided into the following sections:

   ● Proposed development;
   ● Overview of bushfire hazard;
   ● Regulatory framework;
   ● Methods;
   ● Results; and,
   ● Summary of assessment findings and recommendations.
