REF: Fire Management Plan
60 Hoffmann Drive
Noosaville


Attention: Anthony Power.


Inspection of 60 Hoffmann Drive, 29th March 2012.

No. 60 Hoffman Dr. Noosaville.


In my response of the 12th Feb 2012 wherein I advised:


   1      The South Eastern boundary (units 8 -19)is approximately 70 metres. An
          additional access is advised midway along that boundary, for the safety of fire
          fighters

  2       Hydrant Plugs will be required at the points identified for appliance deployment
          in the Bushfire Plan -Schematic


At the inspection you advised the following changes had been made to the original plan;


   .   Additional access provided between units 13 & 14 will allow safe access and exit for fire
       fighters on the South Eastern boundary.

   .   The provision of Hydrant Plugs at the appliance deployment points indicated in the
       original bushfire schematic will meet the necessary water supply requirements.

   .   The removal of the re       -
                                    entrant corner on the South Western access trail will also assist
       with the safety of fire fighters


   .   Provision of gate ways to unit courtyards from the fire line


   .   I accept that No 60 Hoffmann Drive is an infill development and as such the provision of
       external vehicular access is not feasible on this lot.
