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

There is the capacity to link this access in the north east west corner to Eenie Creek Road
and the subject land to provide an access for emergency firefighting appliances. This has
been negotiated with National Parks and a verbal agreement on the location and design of
this access confirmed. A written submission to National Parks has been made and early
confirmation is expected.

Internally, any development design would include a perimeter road around the eastern and
northern boundary to provide adequate separation to achieve a maximum Construction
Standard of BAL 29 under AS3959-2018.

There is also the capacity for an emergency pedestrian access out to the existing bikeway
to the north to provide access to the existing Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. This has been
confirmed as achievable over the existing stormwater device (Refer to Photograph 2).


5.2 Bushfire Buffers / Firebreaks
Area 4
   •   Walter Hay Drive provides a substantial buffer from the National Park to the east.
   •   The zone adjoining the Council Park at Lots 12 – 15 requires a 20m buffer from
       development. This land will be cleared and will be used for car parks and access.
       No building can be constructed in this area. (see Diagram B) This will include a 6
       metre emergency access linking Hofmann Drive with Walter Hay Drive.
   •   This 20 metre separation will be achieved with 17 metres of hardstand with the
       emergency access and necessary batter.
    • Stormwater treatment will be in this 20m separation buffer and will be maintained
      in a manicured state.
Area 2
   •   The small area of National Park to the north of the subject site (i.e. 1ha) would
       benefit from a periodic (every 7-10 years) cooperative hazard reduction burn. This
       is not essential but National Parks have a responsibility to abate the hazard and
       have indicated a willingness to list the area for treatment.
   •   It is essential that the area under the power line be managed as manicured
       grassland as is the current practice. The owner of Lot 23 will adhere to the
       conditions prescribed by Energex in the letter dated 25 November 2019
       (Attachment 1).
