9.0 Summary
The area of “hazard” faced by the proposed development is not great, but the likelihood of wildfire at some
time is regarded as possible or even likely. Risk mitigation measures should extend beyond construction
(which is the main focus of this BAL Assessment).

Along with adequate water supply and emergency management arrangements, compliant construction under
AS3959-2018 and APZs to reduce the exposure of life and property to bushfire, these combined measures
assist prepare residents for the possibility of fire in the area.
