              7.0 Bushfire Protection Measures in Combination




              Figure 10. Bushfire Planning Measures in Combination (Source: NSW RFS, 2006)

              Figure 10, taken from Planning for Bushfire Protection (NSW Rural Fire Service, 2006) illustrates that there
              are other factors and measures which need to be integrated to mutually support one another to provide
              protection against bushfire.

              Simply removing the hazard (bushland) is one possible way of removing risk to life and property, but this
              approach is hardly desirable. The safety of life and property can be achieved whilst retaining the natural
              amenity and value of bushland areas, provided these integrated bushfire protection measures are applied.


              7.1        Building Construction and Design

              With a minimum setback of 25m from intact and unmanaged vegetation downslope, BAL 19 construction
              under AS3959-2018 is shown to be viable.

              Any Class 10a structure built within 6m of the dwelling shall be constructed in accordance with this Standard.
