1 Introduction
The site is located at 16 Serenity Close, Settler’s Cove (Noosa Heads), Queensland (the site), properly
described as Lot 9 SP195871. The site proposes to contain high density residential units and an area
protected by a vegetation covenant (Referred as Covenant E in Figure 1). This Bushfire Information Kit
(BIK) was prepared to meet Condition 29 of the development approval (MCU16/0143.01) and condition
14 of the minor change of sue application for Settler’s Cove which requires:

   Condition 29 - ‘’to provides a clear and practical instructions regarding the bushfire management
   requirements of the covenant area. These instructions are to be in plain English, logical format,
   provide concise direction for the management of the covenant area in accordance with the
   approved Bushfire Management Plan.’’

   Condition 14 – The covenant area shall be:

      • “Managed to protect and reinforce its environmental values including its Koala habitat and
         corridor values, Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat values, scenic amenity values and water
         quality protection function.

      • Managed and maintained in accordance with the approved Environmental Management Plan,
         Fauna Management Plan, Fire Management Plans and Ecological Restoration Plan.

      • Separated from adjacent development by a 1.2 m high fence. The fence shall be ‘fauna-
         friendly’ but shall deter unauthorized people from entering the area. Suitably located lockable
         gates shall be provided to allow appropriate access by authorised personnel.

      • Have signs placed on the fence to inform people that the ‘Private Open Space for Conservation
         & Waterways Protection’ area is for conservation and waterways protection purposes and
         access is prohibited.

      • Maintained by authorised people only permitted in this area as appointed by the Covenantor.
         The Covenantor is responsible for the management and the protection of the Covenant Area.

      • Protected from infrastructure, tracks, drainage, water control devices and the like or other
         development.

      • Protected so that native trees and vegetation are not removed, pruned, lopped, damaged or
         otherwise adversely affected without written approval from Council.

      • The area shall be restored and managed in accordance with the Ecological Restoration Plan
         and the Fauna Management Plan.”

2 Bushfire Management Requirement
The BIK was prepared in accordance with:

•   The approved Fire Management Plan for Settler’s Cove (the FMP) (WMB, 2005);

•   The approved Ecological Restoration Plan (ERP) (C&B Group, 2005);

•   The Landscape Master Plan (LandGraphics Landscape Architects, 2005);

•   The approved Fauna Management Plan (C&B Group, 2005); and

•   Recently prepared Fauna Management Plan for Stage 4 (Green Tape Solutions, 2018);

This section should be read in conjunction with the above-mentioned reports.

2.1 Asset Protection Zones

All vegetation removal must be in accordance with Council approval in covenant areas. Covenant E are
composed of the following zones Figure 2):

    •   Fuel control area

    •   Private Open Space for Conservation and Waterways Protection (POSCWP) Area (composed
        of sclerophyll vegetation and littoral rainforest/non-flammable vegetation)




                 Figure 2: Cross section of the covenant areas (Extract from WMW, 2005)

2.1.1   Fuel control area

A fuel control area of 3 m in width is created adjacent to the covenant area, paths and building
envelopes. An additional fuel control area of 2.5m will be located within the covenant area (as illustrated



                                                    PR22034_BIK_Settlers Cove Covenant E           Page 3

Page 7

                                                                                    Bushfire Information Kit

in Figure 2). These areas will be planted with fire retardant species. Fire-retardant species are flora
species that have the ability or tendency to slow up or halt the spread of fire. Within the fuel control area,
this species must be maintained at a height of no more than 30 cm (ground-cover species). Horizontally
growing plants are preferred to eliminate the need for intensive maintenance. A list of suitable ground-
cover species is provided in Appendix 1.

No flammable features or structures are permitted in this area. This includes barbeques, fire wood,
unmaintained grass and vegetation and hazardous substances.

Fire retardant features accepted within the fuel control area include paved pathways, swimming pools,
mowed grass, fire-retardant vegetation (refer to Appendix 1). Any features will need to ensure that
access to the hydrant and tap is available.

A hose reel is to be permanently fitted to the hydrant.

Fuel reduction must occur in the building fuel control area, at least fortnightly, during the fire danger
season, i.e. September to March.

Fuel load monitoring of this area is to be undertaken annually before the end of June. A bushfire
management specialist will be engaged to perform fuel load monitoring in the fuel control area and the
covenant area and will consider the fuel reduction performance objectives outlined in this section when
identifying annual fuel reduction works.

Within two weeks of completing the fuel load monitoring, the bushfire management specialist will provide
a brief report which presents the results of the fuel load monitoring and identifies weeds and fuel
reduction works.

The fuel reduction performance objectives within the fuel control area are:

    •   treatment of weeds;

    •   surface fuel layer is < 10 – 25 mm deep across 60 – 80% of the area;

    •   Lawn maintained to < 100 mm in height;

    •   Groundcover plants (including plantings) in the near-surface fuel layer are maintained to remove
        dead leaves and trimmed to a maximum of 30 cm in height;

    •   No forest litter from the covenant area in gardens; and

    •   Fire retardant vegetation height below 30 cm.

The fuel reduction performance objectives will be achieved by:

    •   Visually monitoring lawn and garden areas;

    •   Mowing lawn to ensure lawn height is maintained; and

    •   Collecting and removing dead leaves, branches and forest litter from gardens by hand or with a
        garden blower/vacuum.




                                                      PR22034_BIK_Settlers Cove Covenant E            Page 4

Page 8

                                                                                      Bushfire Information Kit

2.1.2   POSCWP Area

This section applies to fuel reduction area which extends from the covenant fuel control area to the
Noosa Inlet. It consists of a mixture of sclerophyll vegetation and littoral rainforest adjacent to intertidal
vegetation fringing the Noosa Inlet. This area shall be restored and managed in accordance with the
Ecological Restoration Plan and the Fauna Management Plan. This area is to be managed to protect
and reinforce its environmental values including its koala habitat and corridor values, Glossy Black
Cockatoo habitat values, scenic amenity values and water quality protection function. All known Koala
habitat and Glossy Black Cockatoo trees shall be protected unless specific approval is provided by
Council. All native trees and vegetation must not be removed, pruned, lopped, damaged or otherwise
adversely affected without written approval from Council’s Manager – Environmental Services.

Control burning is not an appropriate means of fire fuel reduction in the narrow areas of restored
bushland adjacent to residential areas. Therefore, fuel reduction in these areas will continue to be
undertaken by hand. The fire fuel load shall not exceed 10 tonnes/ha.

If required, additional planting within the fuel control areas must be fire retardant plants. A list of suitable
species is provided in Appendix 1 and comprises primarily low growing plants that will limit the
development of a vertical fuel load.

As per the ERP (C&B Group, 2005), the following specific task are to be undertaken within the
POSCWP:

    •   Manual removal of fuel load (Dead wood) and excessive leaf litter adjacent (5-10m) to the
        development boundary;

    •   Undertake weed control / removal to avoid disturbance where possible in steep area (identified
        by the restoration ecologist);

    •   Weed removal/control to recreate natural environment and allow light penetration;

    •   Placement of mulch in steep areas; and,

    •   Use of watering systems that enhance fire protection.

Manual fuel reduction in the covenant area must be completed annually and prior to the onset of the
annual fire danger season, i.e. before September. The bushfire management specialist will advise the
best way to treat the surface and near-surface layers to achieve a forest fuel load of < 10 t/ha in their
annual fuel reduction report following a site assessment. As mentioned earlier, site --specific events will
influence the treatment required, e.g. fallen trees, proliferation of weed species, nest building by brush-
turkeys, surface water runoff, etc.

The fuel reduction performance objectives within the covenant area are:

    •   treatment of weed species; and

    •   combined surface and near surface fuel load are < 10 t/ha.

The fuel reduction performance objectives will be achieved by:

    •   treatment of weeds in accordance with ERP (C&B Group, 2005); and

    •   undertaking fuel reduction works in accordance with the bushfire management specialist’s
        annual fuel reduction report.

                                                                                   Bushfire Information Kit

2.2 Removal of rubbish

Rubbish is to be collected during fuel reduction works and is to be disposed of at an off-site facility. The
covenant area must be free off rubbish at all time.

2.3 Weed Treatment and Removal

Weed treatment and removal is to coincide with manual fuel reduction works. Care is to be taken to
avoid soil disturbance on steep areas.         Refer the ERP for further information about the weed
management within the covenant. The covenant area must be controlled for weeds at all time.

2.4 Fencing and Signage

A 1.2m high fence is to be installed to deter unauthorised people from entering the area except for the
proposed pathway access /boardwalk. The fence is to be fauna-friendly and have a lockable gate
accessible to authorised personnel only. The fencing in conjunction with the development will be setback
at least 1 metre from the road frontage with at least half of any fence setback 2 metres. Dense
landscaping is to be planted between the road frontage and any fencing.

Any signage or device is to comply with Council's policies on advertising.

2.5 Maintenance of Fire Services

The property will be fitted with internal and external fire services. An external fire hydrant is located on
the edge of the covenant area as shown on Figure 1.

Maintenance of fire services such as hydrants, hose reels and taps, is to be performed in accordance
with the Australian Standard for Fire Maintenance Services (AS 1851-2012). A fire services specialist
must be engaged to provide advice and services in this regard. Once the fire services specialist has
been engaged they will be requested by the Body Corporate to provide a schedule of maintenance
activities required to comply with AS 1851-2012.

A pedestrian access path is provided to the buildings and the hydrants at the interface of the POSCWP
and along the fuel control area. This path provides access also for Queensland Fire and Rescue Service
(QF&RS) turnout crews. Path must be signposted so that each building is easily identified by QF&RS
turnout crews and correspond to the information recorded at the Fire Indicator Panel.

In addition to the signposting, the management of all buildings will have, as part of their Evacuation
Management Plan, procedures for meeting the QF&RS turnout crews and escorting them to the alarm
origin.

2.6 Property Maintenance

To avoid any adverse impacts on the management of the covenant area, the Body Corporate must also
ensure the on-site manager performs property maintenance prior to the onset of the annual fire danger
season, i.e. before September.

Property maintenance is to include:

    •     removal of material such as leaf litter from the roof and gutters;



                                                      PR22034_BIK_Settlers Cove Covenant E          Page 6

   •   ensure painted surfaces are in good condition with decaying timbers being given attention to
       prevent the lodging of embers within gaps;

   •   check footpaths are in good condition with gardens not being too close and forming a potential
       obstacle;

   •   check roof line for dislodged roofing material;

   •   check screens on windows and doors are in good condition without breaks or holes in fly screen
       material and frames are well fitting into sills and window frames;

   •   doors are fitted with draft seals and are well maintained;

   •   door mats are of non-combustible material or are in areas of low potential exposure to embers;
       and

   •   hazardous materials, e.g. barbecue gas bottles, are stored in a position shielded from bushfire
       hazard;

   •   Maintenance of access gates to fire break, and,

   •   Maintain taps, hoses and reels.

The applicant and all future owners of the site shall comply with the Environmental Management Plan
(EMP) for Settlers Cove Development 23118 DA and compliance with the EMP shall be referenced in
any community management statement over the site. The Fire Management Plan is to also be
implemented by the Developer and future owners of the site and is to be referenced in any community
management statement.

3 Preparation and Evacuation Management Plan
Should there be a fire outbreak, there are a number of critical points to be aware of. Only those who are
capable of working quickly before, during and after a fire front has passed should stay behind to effect
protection measures.

3.1 Step by Step approaches
1. Before you can confront an oncoming bushfire, it is important that you protect yourself from radiant
    heat. This can be assisted by wearing:

    •   Cotton overalls or thicker long-sleeved shirt and long pants of cotton or wool clothes which are
        loose fitting;

    •   A strong pair of shoes or boots with woollen or cotton socks;

    •   Gloves, (canvas not plastic);

    •   Goggles, if the smoke is thick;

    •   A "bandana' or large handkerchief to protect the airways from smoke and hot air;

    •   A wide-brimmed hat or hard hat if one is available; but

    •   Leave your ears uncovered - they warn you of heat levels; and

    •   Ensure you have a well -stocked first aid kit.

    •   DO NOT WEAR SYNTHETICS - wear wool, cotton or denim.

2. Keep children, the elderly and pets inside the house;

3. Give them plenty of water to drink; and

4. Make sure you keep track of their movements.

5. Close windows and doors and any shutters and fit any screens;

6. Wet down wood piles and area of garden mulch.

When the bushfire is close:

1. Remain outside as long as possible patrolling the area for spot fires;

2. Suppress any spot fires which start close to the building or in the guttering;

3. Take refuge when the smoke starts to thicken;

4. Take your hoses and fittings inside when you move inside; and

5. Activate any sprinkler system.

6. Remain calm and keep other occupants calm.

WHAT NOT TO DO

    •   Do not expose yourself to prolonged radiant heat;

    •   Do not try to fight a fire front directly without adequate equipment and personnel;




                                                    PR22034_BIK_Settlers Cove Covenant E         Page 8

Page 12

                                                                                     Bushfire Information Kit

    •    Do not go outside while the fire front is passing (wait until it passes);

    •    Avoid heavy smoke and don't drive in smoke; and

    •    Do not run into unburnt area as burnt areas are safer.

3.2 Evacuation

The decision to evacuate or stay in the event of a major bushfire is one that should be considered well
before a bushfire event. Early evacuation is a serious consideration where:

    •    You are not confident that your building is prepared to withstand a bushfire;

    •    You are worried about your children or elderly members;

    •    You suspect that you or members of the household will be unable to cope with the stress of
         staying;

    •    It is safe to leave and you have a clear idea of where a safe refuge is to be found; and

    •    You know the destination to be safe.

Note: you must evacuate if directed to do so by the Police. Police undertake evacuations with the advice
of fire authorities.

4 Implementation Plan
The developer/owner is responsible for fire management up until titles are issued. Thereafter, the Bodies Corporate will be responsible for on-going fire
management within the covenant area.

Table 1 provides a summary of the responsibilities for the implementation of the bushfire management plan with the covenant area.
