potential fireline intensity greater than 4,000 kW/m (i.e. medium, high or very high bushfire
hazard/potential bushfire intensity). This mapping triggers assessment against the State Planning Policy
Assessment Benchmarks.

An excerpt from the SPP Assessment Benchmark – BPA mapping published on the SPP Interactive
Mapping System (IMS) is provided in Figure 2. The site is mapped as containing areas of Very High
Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact Buffer.

2.2 Noosa Plan 2020

The site is located within the Noosa local government area and is subject to the provisions of the Noosa
Plan 2020. The planning scheme’s Bushfire hazard overlay maps the site as containing areas of High
Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact Buffer. An excerpt from the overlay map identifying the
mapped bushfire hazard areas in relation to the proposed development site is shown in Figure 3.

Noosa Shire Council’s Bushfire hazard overlay mapping designates bushfire prone areas for the
purposes of Section 12 of the Building Regulation 2006. The provisions of the Building Code of Australia
(BCA) or Queensland Development Code (QDC) are applicable to any building assessment work in a
designated bushfire prone area.

The Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire overlay code notes that a site-based assessment may be used to ground-
truth the extent of hazardous vegetation and the extent and nature of the bushfire hazard area (bushfire
prone area), but does not specify acceptable methodologies. The site-specific bushfire assessment
