Appendix E - Bushfire Hazard Assessment · OPW19/0082

5    Water points/Stand pipes be located near pool and along south-eastern boundary to allow use by Emergency
     Services when required. These water points should be connected via an internal reticulated water system.
6    The construction of a 20,000 litre water tank with a dedicated 5,000 litres for bushfire protection operations
     should be maintained at all times. We note that 2 water tanks are proposed and as such the one tank could
     retain the reserve fire fighting water, as well as water within the permanent water reticulation ring main.
7    The swimming pool is to provide direct access for Rural fire fighting appliances so that they can, if required,
     access the water from the swimming pool for fire fighting purposes.
8    An evacuation building should be located to a central area which can be closed, such as the Reception
     building or Pool structure (in Figure 1), in case an emergency situation occurs.
As the area is considered to be a bushfire hazard area and as such a response to the Natural Hazards Overlay
Code in the Noosa Plan (2016) is required. We have included our response to the Noosa Plan (2016) Natural
Hazards overlay code below.
