A bushfire hazard assessment verifies the extent of hazardous vegetation and extent and nature of the bushfire hazard area. Such assessments are undertaken using the methodology set out in the Council’s Planning Scheme Policy, or where applicable, State Planning Policy.
A well-planned subdivision can significantly reduce exposure to property, people, and infrastructure in bushfire hazard areas and help manage fire during a bushfire incident. A bushfire hazard assessment identifies the potential intensity of bushfires for a given location.
