7.5       Fire Fighting and Emergency Management Arrangements

The development is serviced by the existing road and new driveway for Emergency Services use. The
maintenance of a mown or slashed grass surface throughout the IPA and most of the OPA provides safe
defendable space around key assets in the unlikely event of bush fire.

Obstructions to access to the rear of buildings should be avoided.

Residents and site operators shall be made aware of the existence of this Plan, and their need to comply with
the relevant provisions, in particular building construction, APZ maintenance, optimizing access around
buildings and emergency response preparations.

Residents shall decide on their Stay and Defend / or Go Early strategy before each fire season so as to ensure
this decision is not made too late, when smoke and emergency vehicles prevent an orderly evacuation. Staying
to defend or shelter is a viable and preferable option for the proposed development if the site is threatened by
smoke attack or worse.

Appendix 2 provides guidance for Residents’ Emergency Management Planning in relation to bushfire.
