Natural Hazard Management Report BA220095 - 332 Eastern Branch Road, Kin Kin QLD 4571 -
PROCEDURES TO MANAGE THE FLOOD RISK
The following procedures will be used to manage the flood risk:
• Evacuation of the site if necessary
• Protection of assets from flooding
• Restoration of the site after flooding
• Sheltering in place: If the floodwaters are expected to reach a depth of less than 1 meter, people could
be advised to shelter in place.
• Based on flood intelligence provided, flood evacuation could be considered by residents however safe
refuge to the existing dwelling is predicted and access available via the proposed walking track
• Emergency responses and assistance to those affected would be provided by the Noosa Council and
relevant emergency services.
NATURE OF THE FIRE THREAT
The project site is covered by grass with heavy vegetation along the creek and throughout the site. Several
cleared areas with long grass are scattered throughout the property along with vehicle tracks access to each
of these areas. These dense areas of bushland both on the property and adjacent to the property pose a threat
of fire hazard.
SOURCES OF FIRE INTELLIGENCE
The following sources of flood intelligence will be used:
• The Queensland Fire Service warning systems
• Noosa Council warning systems
• Local media reports
• Social media
CONSIDERATIONS FOR FIRE MANAGEMENT
Considerations and strategies for fire management of the site would include locating the cabins in cleared
areas outside the bushfire hazards zones, managing fuel loads and vegetation and maintaining access to tracks
and fire breaks.
During times of high-risk bushfire, the elimination of possible ignition sources, the restriction of fuel sources
and the awareness of current circumstances and partnerships with adjacent landowners is encouraged. The
enablement of a prompt and effective suppression response to an outbreak is also recommended.
