           5.0        CONCLUSION
           A bushfire hazard assessment has been completed for Lot 4 on RP213871 located at 797 Ringtail Creek
           Road, Pomona, and has identified that the vegetation present within and adjoining the site comprises an
           overall risk rating of a High Potential Bushfire Intensity hazard. A 26m wide Asset Protection Zone has
           been recommended to be implemented around the dwelling to achieve a minimum 29kW/m2 separation
           as prescribed within Assessment Benchmark 4 of the State Planning Policy – State interest guidance
           material – Natural hazards, risk and resilience – Bushfire (2019). This setback would also provide a BAL 29
           construction standard to the proposed dwelling under AS3959:2018.

           Bushfire can be unpredictable and requires adequate preparatory planning and actions to be undertaken
           to minimise impacts to property and potential loss of life. This assessment has been prepared with
           consideration of site conditions observable at the time of inspection, the distance between the proposed
           development and potentially hazardous vegetation, the extent of fragmentation occurring within the
           landscape and the nature of the development proposed. The hazard assessment methodologies
           described in this report are not based on assessments of catastrophic bushfire events which may occur
           from time to time. The unpredictable nature of bushfires prevents any guarantee being provided that the
           area will not be affected by bushfire at some time. Property owners and site users should be aware of the
           potential consequences of such events and should take responsibility for the protection of property and
           personnel accordingly.
