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



It is normal practice to reduce the bushfire hazard and risk in line with meeting Council’s
Bushfire Overlay Code. The retention of Lots 3 and 7 only add a minor risk because of
their small size and the presence of surrounding access provides a most acceptable
outcome.

5.4.2 External
   •   The patch of vegetation north of Area 2 in the National Park should be considered
       for a cooperative hazard reduction burn with National Parks. This would only be
       needed on a once in 7-10 year cycle. (This has been discussed with a local
       National Parks Ranger and has received his support.) This is not required for this
       ROL nevertheless is good practice.
   •   The entire Park area south to Eenie Creek should also have management that
       would include hazard reduction burning. This is not required for this ROL
       nevertheless is good practice.

5.5 Construction Standards
The provision of low threat separation up to 20 metres with access and adjoining
vegetation with fuel loads of 20+tonnes/ha will confirm that proposed uses will be
constructed to Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL) under AS3959-2018 of 29 and less for those
lots with greater separation distances. (This applies to Area 2 which is proposed for
residential development.)

The final development on Area 2 will include the provision of a safe emergency assembly
area in the centre of the lot. This will provide added assurance that all people are safe
and then can be evacuated if necessary.


6. Compliance with Natural Hazards Overlay Code
    (13.28 of the Noosa Plan)

6.1 Overall Outcomes
   •   The previously approved development provided actions that had minimal ecological
       impact, allowed a safe environment for people and property and sufficient capacity
       for bushfire response if required.
