2.0 Bushfire Hazard Assessment
The prevalence of Bushfire in the landscape is dependent on vegetation type and fuel load
available to sustain a bushfire. Bushfire intensity and rate of spread are influenced by fuel
load, (including type and extent of vegetation), topography and to a lesser extent aspect. Land
uses surrounding potentially hazardous vegetation, and consequently the connectivity of
vegetation communities, all influence the potential for a bushfire to develop and be
sustained.

2.1 Current Bushfire Hazard Mapping
On review of State Bushfire Hazard Overlay Mapping, as maintained by the Department of
Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DILGP) the site is mapped as containing
patches of Very High, High and Medium Bushfire Hazard areas, and Potential Impact Buffer
Areas (Figure 3).

To verify Bushfire Hazard mapping, a Site-Specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment is triggered,
and is addressed below.
