              5.0 Specific risk factors associated with the development
              proposal
              5.1        Nature of activities anticipated on site

              Normal residential activities are anticipated to occur in the area. The number of fire incidents expected by
              QFES varies in direct proportion to the numbers of people present. The proposed development does not add
              significantly to the number of people living in the area or likely to cause ignition.

              5.2        Numbers of people likely to be present

              Up to 1 - 2 residents are generally expected to be present on the Subject Lot, depending on time of day and
              timing of holidays. The proposed development does not add significantly to the number of people living in the
              area or potentially exposed to the small possibility of unplanned fire.


              6.0 Nature and Severity of Potential Bushfire Attack
              6.1        Bushfire season and Fire Weather

              The “typical fire season” in this area peaks between September and November. The predominant winds in
              the area are south easterly, however during the fire season, hot gusty westerlies of over 30 kph can be
              expected, with Relative Humidity falling to 15% and less. Temperatures on these days can climb over 35⁰C ,
              and for two or three days a year, fire weather conditions equivalent to FDI levels of around 50 can be
              anticipated. (Note that this is in contrast to the value of 40 which Queensland is currently using in the
              recently revised AS3959 - 2018).
