              3.2       Vegetation Assessment, Slope and Separation Distances from Proposed
                        Development

              Figure 3 shows the slope and fuel area combinations for main fire scenario for the site.




                 Figure 4. Main intact vegetation area related the proposed development. Solid arrows indicate main
              directions of attack, dotted arrows as embers.

              The vegetation type in terms of AS3959-2018 is “Forest”. Effective slope under vegetation is taken as 14°
              down slope. Site slope is taken as 10˚ down slope.

              Section 6 objectively calculates and determines the potential nature and severity of bushfire attack more
              thoroughly. This serves as a basis for determining the construction and other bushfire protection measures
              outlined in this BAL Assessment.

              Fuel values attributed under Method 2 of AS3959-2018 are State default values as required under AS3959-
              2018, however field assessments were undertaken as a check of Regional Ecosystem and long-post-fire fuel
              loads using the Overall Fuel Hazard Assessment - DSE Victoria (Oct 2010).
