Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan v1                                         NCES REF: J001050
Lot 3 on RP131369 – 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain



3.3    Potential Bushfire Intensity classes
Table 1 details the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and their corresponding potential fire-line
intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.
Table 1: Potential Bushfire Intensity classes




3.4    Bushfire Hazard Sub-Units
A sub-unit level Local Hazard Area Map has been prepared; Plan No. BF02 – Sub-Units and
identifies the site scale Potential Bushfire Intensity classes across the site. The sub-unit level Local
Hazard Area Map identifies that Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity Areas associated with the VHC
24.1 are located offsite to the northwest, south, and west.
NOTE: SUB UNIT 2 represents VHC 3.1 – Notophyll vine forest which in its remnant form (mature fuel loads
assumed) is classified as Prone Type 3 – Low hazard under Section 7.5.2 & Figure 14 of Bushfire Resilient
Communities 2019. Therefore, SUB UNIT 2 was not included within this assessment.

3.5    Overall Local Hazard Map
An overall Local Hazard Map has been prepared; Plan No. BF03 – Local Hazard Map and identifies
the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes across the site as well as associated 100m wide Potential
Impact Buffer areas. A Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area has been identified offsite to the
northwest, south, and west with western portion of the site captured in the Potential Impact Buffer.

The Local Hazard Map presented in Plan No. BF03 is to supersede the SPP broadscale mapping
attributed to the site and should be used to guide the formulation of appropriate site-based bushfire
management measures for the proposal.
