13 If Acceptable Solution 1.1 is complied with no further action is required. PSP1 details information Council may request to determine whether or not the site is at risk from landslide.

14 PSP1 details information Council may request including the preparation of a site-specific geotechnical analysis prepared by a registered professional to demonstrate
the achievement of the solution to the satisfaction of the Council.

15 In accordance with Section 12 of the Building Regulation 2006, any building assessment work in a designated bush fire prone area must comply with the bushfire
protection provisions of the BCA. Land shown as Bushfire Hazard Area on the overlay maps is designated as the bushfire prone area for the purposes of the Building
Regulations 2006. The bushfire hazard area includes land covered by the very high, high and medium bushfire hazard areas as well as the buffer area category on the

Flood, Bushfire and Landslide provides more information on Bushfire Management Plans.

17 A site specific bushfire hazard assessment is necessary to demonstrate that although the site is identified within a Bushfire Hazard Area, the bushfire risk is low as per
PSP1 detailing the site-specific assessment of bushfire risk prepared in accordance with Appendix 3 of the SPP Guidelines: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood,
Bushfire and Landslide.
