Regional and country areas have always been associated with the threat of bushfire. It is becoming more and more common that fringe areas of some suburbs, even cities have been identified as bushfire prone areas.
What is a bushfire hazard report?
This report outlines the level of potential threat to your future building along with measures to take to prevent or at least minimise the threat of fire. The outlining fuel source (type and density of trees and undergrowth) is identified by an accredited assessor taking into account the present use of the site and the future or intended use.
Recommendations are made as to the treatment of the site which form part of your council application documentation. The report is then used by your architectural designer and specific building requirements are included in the design to combat or minimise any potential threat.
Should you wish, in the future, to alter your property your assessor can provide advice and guidance. All information is generally checked before final approval by council.
To see if your in a potential bushfire hazard risk area first consult with your local council then discuss your site with an accredited assessor.
