Town Planning Report

Bushfire




The subject site is affected of a Potential Impact Buffer Area as identified in the
above figure.

The land is predominately cleared, however, contains some fringing vegetation to
the west and along the drainage lines extending through the site, which includes
pine, wattle and camphor laurel species.

While located in a buffer area, it is considered the proposed reconfiguration will not
compromise the safety of people and property in the event of a bushfire for the
following reasons:
    • The site is located in close proximity to the centre of town and fire brigade
       which is located along Reserve Street.
    • A reticulated water service will be provided to each lot.
    • Future dwellings will be constructed in accordance with AS3959:2009
       Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas – where within 100m of
       classified vegetation as per the requirements of part 3.7.4, Volume 2 of the
       National Construction Code.
    • Any rehabilitation works will predominantly include rainforest / low
       flammability species.
