Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan

The proposed development is constrained by the SPP Bushfire Prone Areas Overlay code and NSP2020 overlay code; compliance
against the code assessment tables is required.

8.1       Compliance with SPP State Interest Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience – Bushfire
           Policy Positions
Compliance with SPP State Interest Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience – Bushfire Policy Positions
The following table provides compliance assessment against the SPP State Interest Natural Hazards Risk and Resilience –
Bushfire policy statements and also provides compliance pathways to the associated SPP Guidance material (2021) and the
Technical Reference Guideline to the SPP Bushfire Resilient Communities all of which hold specific requirements in the ability for
development of a local government instrument to be representative of the state interest. It is considered that demonstrating the
proposed development’s compliance with the specific requirements of these policy documents a surrogate for demonstrating
that the SPP policy positions can be achieved.
