    bushfire intensity. We note that some of the high and medium bushfire hazard polygons include areas of
    cleared land within and over the neighbouring properties.
   The Noosa Plan Bushfire Overlay, maps areas of cleared vegetation as both High and Medium bushfire
    hazards
   We note the State Planning Policy (2016) – Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience mapping differs from the
    local mapping, slightly in that the State mapping has less coverage of the subject site and surrounding
    properties. The State Planning Policy (2016) – Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience mapping maps the
    western boundary of the subject site as High and Medium Potential Bushfire intensity with the remainder of
    the property mapped as a Potential Impact buffer area. The surrounding vegetation on the neighbouring
    properties and the National Park is all mapped as combinations of High and Medium potential bushfire
    intensity. Similarly, to the Council mapping, the State mapping includes areas of cleared areas as high and
    medium potential bushfire intensity.
   In summary both the Noosa Planning Scheme bushfire hazard overlay map and the State Planning Policy
    Bushfire Hazard map, maps areas of hazardous over and around the proposed development site. There is,
    however, a difference with the areas covered between the two maps.
