Attachment 5 - Bushfire Management Plan - 02 December 2019

Report on Updated Bushfire Management Plan for             Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd
Undeveloped Area of Noosa Civic



Overall, the proposed development reduces existing risks associated with the adjoining
Noosa Civic Shopping Centre.


4. Bushfire Hazard and Risk Analysis
The State Planning Policy Bushfire Hazard Mapping (SPP) places the development area in
high and very high hazard. (see SPP Map)


Onsite inspection and assessment confirms the following:-
   1. With the development of the (5) nodes the only hazardous vegetation will be the
       small areas of environmental covenants and the isolates of Lots 3 and 7. These are
       too small to be considered a significant risk to the development or surrounds.
   2. The Open Space/Park lands to the south of the development is high hazard and
       with considerable fuel loads. This land burnt in 2003 and will burn again unless the
       fuel loads are managed.
   3. The lands to the east are National Park and high hazard areas. These lands will
       burn from time to time. It is possible for some ember attack to reach the proposed
       development in Area 2 but this can be addressed under construction requirements.
       The presence of Walter Hay Drive is a major separation for most of the site from the
       eastern National Park. Area 2 has exposure but enjoys the power line clearing and
       only a narrow and small area of National park to the north.

The extent of clearing proposed for this Reconfiguration of Lot (ROL) is restricted to the
areas of development and necessary roads and firebreaks. (see Clearing Plan)



The connection of Hofmann Drive to Walter Hay Drive improves access and provides
protection for the internal development north of Hofmann Drive. The construction of the
link road from Lot 9 up to Lot 2 will provide additional access. There is also a 6m access
track around the eastern edge of Covenant J. The access track to the southern
boundary of Lots 11-15 also improves emergency vehicle access to the site.

Overall, the risk of a damaging bushfire threatening the nodes of development is restricted
to the external vegetation south and south west of the development in Area 4. The
