(a) Roads. should have a minimum all weather trafficable width of 4 metres
with a metre on each side, maintained as a fuel free area;

(b) Restrict the use of speed humps and chicanes to control traffic;

(c) The capacity of road surfaces and bridges should be sufficient to carry
fully loaded fire-fighting vehicles (approximately 27 tonnes or 9 tonnes
per axle); .

(d) Curves should have a minimum inner radius of 6m and be minimal in
number to allow for rapid access and escape;

(e) The minimum distance between inner and outer curves should be 6m;

® Maximum grades should not exceed 15° and preferably not more than 10°
or gradient specified by road design standards, whichever is the lesser
gradient;

(g) There must be a minimum vertical clearance to a height of 6 metres above
the road at all times;

(h) Passing bays shall be constructed along the roads at interval of
approximately 200 metres but not greater than 250 metres, passing bays
shall be 20 metres in length by 3 metres wide, making a trafficable area of
7 metres at the passing bays.

The vegetated areas are accessible from within the subject property; therefore the
bushfire risk assessment concluded fire trails were not required for the proposed
development.

8.5 BUSHFIRE CONSTRUCTION STANDARD

The collated data collected through the onsite assessment identified the proposed
building envelope as being within a Medium bushfire attack category, any future
dwelling constructed within the designated building envelope would be susceptible to
ember attack; therefore the bushfire risk assessment recommends a Level 1
construction standard in relation to Australian Standard AS3959 (Construction of
Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas).

9.0 CONCLUSION

The bushfire risk assessment identified a Tall Eucalypt Forest vegetation occurring
within and adjacent to the subject property as the dominant bushfire hazard vegetation
in relation to the proposed development,

The bushfire vegetation occurs on an undulating terrain greater than 10% for a
distance greater than 100 metres. ,

The proposed development area has been designated within the eastern portion of the
subject property approximately 60 metres from the eastern property boundary.

The bushfire hazard assessment recommends the designated building envelope shall
comply with a minimum 45 metre Asset Protection Zone on all aspects of the
proposed tourist development.

All habitable buildings constructed within the proposed development would be
susceptible to ember attack from bushfire within the surrounding vegetation therefore
it is recommended that all habitable buildings constructed within the proposed
development site comply with a level 1 construction as outlined in Australian
