       in perpetuity, separating buildings from retained vegetation on the site and adjacent Lots.

    3. Reticulated water supplies shall be fully installed in accordance with AS2419.1-2005 and Council water
       utilities provider with sufficient flow and pressure characteristics for fire fighting purposes at all times
       (minimum 10litres a second at 200kPa).

       within it, in particular construction, asset protection zone and emergency management.




11.0 Summary
The area of “hazard” faced by the proposed development is significant, and the likelihood of wildfire at some
time should be regarded as likely. This Plan determines the potential nature and severity of worst case bushfire
attack, and develops protective measures to reduce risk to acceptable levels, demonstrating compliance with
legislative requirements of State and Local Government, and the BCA.

Along with adequate water supply and emergency management arrangements, compliant construction under
AS3959-2018 and APZs to reduce the exposure of life and property to bushfire, these combined measures
assist prepare residents for the possibility of fire in the area.
