Attachment B - Bushfire Management Plan

3.5.3 Site Evacuation
Tune into Warnings:
‘Don’t assume you’ll receive a warning as a fire approaches and don’t assume a fire crew will
be available to assist every home. It’s up to you to monitor conditions, know what the Fire
Danger Rating is each day and to tune into local media including radio, social media and
websites’. Refer to: https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/BushFire_Safety/Pages/tune-in-to-
warnings.aspx (current as at 9/03/2020) for warnings in your area.
‘When an Emergency Warning is issued for your area, you are in danger. At this level of
warning you will be asked to leave immediately or seek shelter immediately if conditions have
become too dangerous to leave.’
In the event of a Bushfire Emergency, site evacuation may be required should the site be in
the path of a bushfire front. The primary site evacuation route is to the west towards Rules
Road (refer Figure 6). It is recommended that site evacuation be undertaken should Qld Fire
and Emergency Services warning levels reach level 3 – Emergency Warning: You Are In
Danger, or prior should the impending risk be increasing.
Another informal evacuation route is potentially available to the south, to established rural
residential development. It is recommended this be used only under the direction and
supervision of Emergency Services personnel.
In the event this route is cut off by bushfire hazard, the above described assembly area is
considered appropriate to act as an shelter for site personnel for while the bushfire front
passes, unless otherwise advised/directed by emergency services personnel.
