Appendix F Bushfire Management Plan

1.0 Introduction

This report has been commissioned by Mr Kieran Courtney in order to support a Development Application for the
subdivision of Lot 1 on RP174646 (the “Subject Lot”); and also in compliance with the Building Code of Australia
(BCA), in respect of future residential buildings on each of the Lots.

Noosa Council (NC) bushfire hazard overlay mapping classifies the Subject Lot as “bushfire prone area” (BPA).
The hazard mapping is based on Queensland Government State Planning Policy (December 2013, latest version
July 2017) accompanied by A new methodology for State-wide mapping of bushfire prone areas in Queensland
(CSIRO 2014).

The designation by Council of land being BPA has two main implications:

    1. It requires the production of a Bushfire Management Plan which complies with the Planning Scheme (in
       this case Part 8.2.3 (Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code) of the Noosa Plan 2020.
    2. It invokes the Building Code of Australia (BCA), requiring compliance with its bushfire related function
       performance objectives and with AS3959-2018 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas.


This Bushfire Management Plan objectively determines the nature and severity of potential worst case wildfire
in the area, and develops risk mitigation measures to be used in combination with established construction
needs in accordance with AS3959-2009. It is the implementation of all these protection measures in
combination, that will demonstrate the viability and conformance of the proposed development in the
development application process.
