Building works within Designated Bushfire Prone Areas identified on a Local Government
Bushfire Hazard Overlay Map triggers building design assessment under AS 3959:2018. The
Standard provides minimum construction requirements for new habitable dwellings and
habitable building alterations in designated Bushfire Prone Areas. The construction
requirements are intended to improve the performance of buildings subjected to burning
debris, radiant heat or flame contact. Building works in Designated Bushfire Prone Areas must
be built to the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) construction standard relevant to the building site
as identified by the AS 3959:2018 methodology.
A specific BAL assessment will be required once building plans have been progressed given
the BAL relies on an accurate understanding of the final footprint of the building within the
individual building envelopes and is required to be assessed against the active iteration of the
Standard at the time of assessment.
The setbacks provided as depicted in the Plan of Development can currently achieve a
minimum BAL 29 Construction Standard for Lots 8-10, with the remainder of the allotments
anticipated to achieve a BAL 19 to BAL 12.5.
