Fuel Load calculations were undertaken on site to validate vegetation classifications and
subsequently potential bushfire hazard to the proposed development.

Vegetation ecotones result in varying fuel load availability. Subsequently, vegetation
communities have been referenced against predominant vegetation with highest fuel loads
with regard to potential sources of Bushfire Hazard posed to the proposed development.
Observed vegetation communities are described in Table 1.

2.2.3 Potentially Hazardous Vegetation
Based on the above assessment, vegetation within 100m of the proposed development has
been classified as posing a low potential bushfire hazard. Consequently, the proposed
development is considered to be in a low potential bushfire hazard area.

The following section details Bushfire Risk Mitigation measures to be implemented on the site
to address the compliance requirements of the proposed development.
