BUSHFIRE CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
31. The allotment is located in an area that has been designated as a Bushfire Prone Area, by the local authority.
    An assessment against AS3959-2018 was submitted through a bushfire report prepared at the lot
    reconfiguration stage. This has determined that a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of 12.5 is applicable. The
    building must incorporate construction methods applicable to this BAL as detailed in AS3959-2018. A
    certificate from the builder (or other suitable competent person) must be provided at the completion of the
    works certifying compliance with these requirements.
    The owner of the property must ensure that the assessment criteria used to determine the BAL are maintained
    throughout the life of the building. This includes maintaining the minimum separation distance and undertaking
    appropriate maintenance of any asset protection zone.
32. The dwelling is located on a property that is affected by a bushfire hazard overlay, and is therefore required to
    comply with the bushfire hazard overlay code contained in the Noosa Plan 2020. The proposed swimming
    pool satisfies the minimum water storage requirements in relation to this.

HEALTH & AMENITY
33. Building elements in wet areas within the building must be waterproof or water resistant in accordance with
    Table 3.8.1.1 and comply with AS3740-2010.
34. Doors to a fully enclosed sanitary compartment must open outwards, slide, or be readily removable from the

    the toilet pan and the hinge part of the doorway (refer to BCA Figure 3.8.3.3).
35. Where a bathroom or laundry is not provided with compliant natural ventilation, an exhaust fan must be
    provided. The exhaust fans must comply with the flow rates prescribed in the BCA (i.e. 25 Us for bathrooms
    or toilets and 40 L/s for a kitchen or laundry), and discharge to outside the building or to the roof space if it is
    adequately ventilated by roof vents or the like (refer to BCA Part 3.8.7.4 for ventilation opening requirements).
36. Waterproofing membranes for external above ground use must comply with AS4654 Parts 1 & 2.2012.

     Stepped quarter landings must not have more than three winders. Riser openings must not allow a 125 mm
     sphere to pass through between the treads. The minimum allowed tread dimension is 240 mm, the maximum
     riser dimension is 190 mm, and the slop relationship (2R&G) is to be between 550-700 mm. All dimensions
    within the stair flight must be constant throughout.
38.  A balustrade is required to be provided along the side of any stair or floor if its level above the surface beneath
     is more than 1m. Any required balustrade must be constructed in accordance with NCC Part 3.9.2, so it has a
     minimum height of 1m and a maximum gap of 125mm.
39. Stairs, ramps and landings must be provided with a suitable slip resistant surface as required by Part 3.9.1.4
     of the BCA. Where timber or tiles are used as the finished surface, a certificate of compliance is to be
