Bushfire Management
The current State Planning Provisions relating to bushfire came into effect after the original
approval. The current bushfire hazard mapping assesses bushfire hazard differently to the
previous bushfire mapping used in the original assessment. When assessing the original
application, the hazard assessment concluded the site had a low hazard status and that there
was no need for any bushfire measures to make the site safe. The current State Planning Policy
Bushfire mapping identifies that part of the footprint of the proposed development is of high
potential bushfire intensity and is within a potential impact buffer.
A Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) was submitted with the current application and identifies two
bushfire management zones for bushfire hazard protection. The zones are referred to as
‘Understorey Management Zone’ and ‘Landscape Management Zone’.
The following image is a site plan detailing the proposed management zones. The Understorey
Management Zones (UMZ) is identified by the area with red hatching whilst the Landscape
Management Zone (LMZ) is hatched blue:
