Lot 2 on RP852009 and Lot 8 on RP160703 - 27 Wilgee Court, Cooroy



7     CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1       Conclusion
This Bushfire Hazard Management Plan has been prepared to assess the degree of bushfire
hazard risk acting on the following allotments present at 27 Wilgee Court, Cooroy:
      ·    Lot 101 on SP142407;
      ·    Lot 140 on MCH978;
      ·    Lot 3 on RP137375;
      ·    Lot 2 on RP852009; and
      ·    Lot 8 on RP160703
The assessment has recommended numerous bushfire reduction measures, which if adopted,
will assist in the protection of people and property during a bushfire emergency. Overall, the
proposed Reconfiguration of a Lot development (as detailed in the Plan of Proposed
Reconfiguration) in combination with recommendations referenced herein, is deemed suitable
to provide a reasonable level of protection for people and property on the site.
The proposed plan of development has been found to be compliant with both the existing
Noosa Plan 2006 Natural Hazards Overlay Code Table 13.9 Bushfire Hazard Areas and the
New Noosa Plan 2019 Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code subject to enactment of the
recommendations set herein.
Bushfire is an extremely serious and often unpredictable phenomenon that requires serious
preparatory planning and decision making to avoid potential damage to infrastructure and or
loss of life. All recommendations made herein have been formulated based on site conditions
at the time of writing and therefore may not be appropriate in the event site conditions change
over time. Implementation of the bushfire mitigation measures referenced herein is not implied
nor intended to advocate that residents remain on the site during a bushfire event nor that
people and property will be protected from bushfire impact. The measures are intended to
reduce the potential severity of bushfire impact to the development zone and not prevent
actual bushfire impact. Site occupants are strongly recommended to seek regular advice from
local fire authorities to ensure the subject recommendations remain appropriate in future
years.
The first call in the event of a bushfire should always be ‘000’.
7.2       Recommendations
The following recommendations are made to achieve a reasonable level of protection for
people and property on the site and to facilitate compliance with the Noosa Plan 2006 Natural
Hazards Overlay Code Table 13.9 Bushfire Hazard Areas and the New Noosa Plan 2019
