DISCLAIMER

Bushfire Planning & Design cannot be held liable for any loss of life or property in the event of a bushfire. This report has been based on all relevant bushfire codes and regulations with regard to the construction of a building in a bushfire prone area. Bushfire Planning and Design has no control over workmanship and is not always asked by the Principal Certifying Authority prior to the release of an occupation certificate to advise if the construction standards and recommendations in this report have been adhered to. Buildings degrade over time and vegetation if not managed will regrow. In addition construction standards are subject to change. Due to significant variance of bushfire behaviour, we do not guarantee that the dwelling will withstand the passage of bushfire even if this development is constructed to the prescribed standards.

AS3959 (2018) states “It should be borne in mind that the measures contained in this Standard cannot guarantee that a building will survive a bushfire event on every occasion. This is substantially due to the degree of vegetation management, the unpredictable nature of behaviour of fire, and extreme weather conditions.”

This report reflects our opinions of bushfire risk, expected radiant heat loads and required asset protection zones relating to the proposed development. Our views are based on our interpretation of Planning for Bushfire Protection (2019), AS3959 (2018) and the methodology for site specific bushfire assessment. The Rural Fire Service have a higher authority and can upon their review, increase a nominated BAL-rating or reject any recommendation contained within this report. Any such recommendations made by the RFS take precedence. Our role is intermediary between our Client and the consenting authority. We apply our knowledge of the standards for bushfire protection to provide the best possible outcome for our Client, both from a bushfire safety and financial perspective. Should the RFS modify our recommendations or reject a proposal we will not be held liable for any financial losses as a result.

This document may only be used for the purpose for which it was commissioned. Bushfire Planning and Design accepts no liability or responsibility for any use or reliance upon this report and its supporting material by any unauthorized third party. Outcomes within this report may have arisen due to specific advice from our Client and in relation to the specific development application that this report was prepared for. The validity of this report is nullified if used for any other purpose than for which it was commissioned. Unauthorized use of this report in any form is an infringement of our intellectual property.

SECTION 1. BACKGROUND AND BRIEFING NOTES

Figure A - BUSHFIRE PRONE LAND MAP Date of Issue 19/04/2021

Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au).Certified Bushfire Prone Land Map extract obtained from the Planning Portal managed by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. Found at www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au. The subject site is mapped as bushfire affected.

BUSHFIRE PLANNING AND DESIGN P. 0406077222E.matthew@bushfireplanninganddesign.comW.bushfireplannignanddesign.com

The subject site whether in whole or part is recorded as bushfire affected on a relevant map certified under Section 10.3 (2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The development relates to the subdivision of bushfire prone land and therefore must address the legislative requirements stipulated in Clause 4.46 of the EP&A Act 1979 and 100B of the Rural Fire Act 1997. The project is considered to be an integrated development and is required to be referred to the RFS for their approval and issuance of a Bushfire Safety Authority (BFSA).

1.3 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORTDevelopment applications on bush fire prone land must be accompanied with a Bush Fire Assessment demonstrating the degree to which the proposed development complies with or deviates from the aims, objectives and performance criteria of Planning for Bushfire Protection (PBP 2019). The purpose of this report is to address the following;

• To determine the expected fire behaviour and threat to the proposed development.

• To provide the land owner, Blacktown City Council, the RFS and other relevant stakeholders with a bushfire report that determines the bushfire hazard for the proposed development.

• To identify compliance with the specific objectives and performance requirements of Planning for Bushfire Protection 2019.

• To determine the required level of construction required by AS3959 – Australian Standard for the Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas.

• Provide bushfire protection recommendations to mitigate the adverse affects from bushfire. The recommendations provided are based on the acceptable solutions stated in PBP (2019).

1.2 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

The development relates to the subdivision of Lot-6028 into 2 lots and the construction of an attached dual occupancy dwelling.

BUSHFIRE PLANNING AND DESIGN

1.4 SCOPE OF THIS REPORTThis report has been prepared to accompany the specific development application referred to in this document and as attached in Appendix B. This report has considered all current relevant bushfire legislation, planning instruments, codes and standards for the construction of a building in a bush fire prone areas. For the purpose of this report it is necessary to describe the surrounding vegetation to 140m from the boundary and slope to 100m from the boundary. This report does not directly assess the bushfire hazard on any adjacent site and cannot be used to support any development on an adjoining allotment.

1.5 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTIONThe subject site is located in a residential area in Melonba which is under the jurisdiction of Blacktown City Council. The site is a vacant allotment. Access to the site is from Georgina Crescent to the south and future Plenty Street to the west. The site is located within a recent subdivision and will be surrounded by managed land to the north, east and west in the near future. The subject site and adjoining allotments are zoned R2 Low Density Residential. Forest vegetation is located to the south of the subdivision.

2.0 INTRODUCTIONFor the purpose of this bushfire assessment, the vegetation is required to be described to a distance of 140m from the boundary and the slope to 100m from boundary. Vegetation type and slope under vegetation are the factors that will significantly affect bushfire behaviour.

‘Research has shown that 85% of houses are lost in the first 100m from bushland and that ember attack is a significant form of attack on properties’ (RFS 2006).

2.1 SLOPEThe effective slope has been assessed for a distance of at least 100m from the proposed development. The slope data has been calculated from a 1m LiDAR Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The source data sets have been captured to standards that are generally consistent with the Australian ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications with require a fundamental vertical accuracy of at least 0.30m (95% confidence) and horizontal accuracy of at least 0.80m (95% confidence). The slope arrows indicated in figure A represent the slope calculated across the length of the arrow direct from the digital elevation model. The calculated slope as shown in figure A has not been manipulated or modified in any way.

SECTION 2. BUSHFIRE ATTACK LEVEL (BAL) PARAMETERS

2.2 PREDOMINANT VEGETATION CLASSThis assessment includes vegetation both within and external to the site boundaries. Where mixes of vegetation formations are located together, the vegetation formation providing the greater hazard shall be used for the purpose of assessment. The combination of vegetation and slope that yields the worst case scenario shall be used (A1.2 PBP 2019). The vegetation mapping below provides an overview of the types of vegetation proximal to the site. The vegetation mapping below is not intended to be conclusive.

2.4 ASSET PROTECTION ZONE (APZ) ASSESSMENT SUMMARY.

2.3 BUSHFIRE ATTACK LEVEL (BAL) ASSESSMENT SUMMARY.

1 Cardinal direction from each proposed building facade based on magnetic north.2 Vegetation Classifications are as described in PBP (2019) A1.2.3 Site slope is calculated from 1m LiDAR contours.4 Minimum APZ required stated as Acceptable Solutions within Table 1.12.2 PBP (2019) or as modelled utilising

Method 2.5 Actual dimensional setback from the face of the building to the assessed vegetation. Achieved Asset Protection

Zone (APZ) or extent of managed land (EML).6 Where the direct line of sight between the proposed building and assessed vegetation is obstructed (by a wall or

building) the assessed rating can be lowered by one BAL-rating (PBP 2019, s. A1.8).** BAL-rating determined via Method 2 (AS3959).

To clarify the findings above, forest vegetation is located 20.6m to the south of dwelling 2 and 31.3m to the south of dwelling 1. The land in all other directions is managed land for at least 100m from the site boundary.

Based on the parameters identified in table 2.3 above, proposed Dwelling 2 is to be constructed to BAL-29 (S, E, W) and BAL-19 (N) as specified in AS3959 (2018). Proposed dwelling 1 is to be constructed to BAL-19

Due to the infill nature of the development, there is limited space within the site to provide an asset protection zone (APZ). A 20.6m APZ is provided which is sufficient to achieve the nominated BAL-ratings and defendable space. Georgina Crescent provides a permanent APZ that can be relied upon for perpetuity and ensures the vegetation will not encroach closer to the subject site over time. The site is to be managed as an inner APZ for perpetuity. No vegetation is required to be removed to create the APZ.

SECTION 3.1 ASSET PROTECTION ZONE ASSESSMENT

The asset protection zones (APZ) requirements have been derived from the methodology of A1.12.2 or A1.12.3 in Appendix 1 of PBP (2019). Asset protection zones and in particular the Inner Asset Protection Zones are critical for providing defendable space and reducing flame length and rate of spread (PBP 2019). APZs are designed to provide sufficient open space for emergency workers to operate and for occupants to egress the site safely. They are divided into Inner and Outer Asset Protection Zones (IPAs and OPAs) and are required to be maintained for the life of the development. The IPA provides for defendable space and a reduction of radiant heat levels at the building line and the OPA provides for the reduction of the rate of spread and filtering of embers. The required Asset Protection Zones are identified in table 5 below.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA (PBP 2019)

Intent of measures: to minimise the risk of bush fire attack and provide protection for emergency services personnel, residents and others assisting fire fighting activities.

• APZs are to be provided commensurate with the construction of the building; and• A defendable space is to be provided.• APZs are to be managed and maintained to prevent the spread of a fire to the building.• The APZ is to be provided in perpetuity.• APZ maintenance is to be practical, soil stability is not compromised and the potential for crown fires is

minimised.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

• The APZ should be located completely within the boundary of the site. The required APZ will often be satisfied by surrounding managed land.

• The APZ should not be located on slopes greater than 180 unless terracing is introduced.• The APZ is to be managed in accordance with Appendix 4 (PBP 2019).• Landscaping is designed and managed to minimise flame contact and radiant heat to buildings, and

the potential for wind-driven embers to cause ignitions • A clear area of low-cut lawn or pavement is maintained adjacent to the house;.• Where the fence is within 6m of a building or in areas of BAL-29 or greater, they should be made of

non-combustible material only.

Page 14: Bushfire Hazard Assessment

14 of 29Lot 6028 Georgina Crescent Melonba 2765

INNER APZ (IPA) IS TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS (PBP 2019).

The Inner APZ (IPA) is the managed area closest to the asset (eg. dwelling). The IPA is managed to minimal fuel conditions and aims to mitigate the impact of direct flame contact and radiant heat on the development. The IPA also aims to provide defendable space.

TREES• Canopy cover should be less than 15% (at maturity)• Trees (at maturity) should not touch or overhang the building• Lower limbs should be removed up to a height of 2m above ground• Canopies should be separated by 2 to 5m• Preference should be given to smooth barked and evergreen trees.SHRUBS• Create large discontinuities or gaps in the vegetation to slow down or break the progress of fire to-

wards buildings.• Shrubs should not be located under trees shrubs should not form more than 10% ground cover.• Clumps of shrubs should be separated from exposed windows and doors by a distance of at least twice

the height of the vegetation.

GRASS• Should be kept mown (as a guide grass should be kept to no more than 100mm in height).• Leaves and vegetation debris should be removed.

OUTER APZ (OPA) IS TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS (PBP 2019).

The Outer APZ (OPA) is the part of the APZ that is located between the IPA and the bushfire vegetation threat.

The reduction in the available fuels and canopy connections in the OPA aims ton mitigate the intensity of an approaching fire and restricts the pathways to crown fuels thus reducing the level of direct flame, radi-ant heat and ember attack on the IPA and asset (dwelling).

TREES• Canopy cover should be less than 30% (at maturity)• Trees should have canopy separation canopies should be separated by 2 to 5m.

SHRUBS• Shrubs should not form a continuous canopy.• Shrubs should form no more than 20% of ground cover.

Space left intentionally blank.

• Where the fence is within 6m of a building or in areas of BAL-29 or greater, they should be made of non-combustible material only.

• There are no bush fire protection requirements for Class 10a buildings located more than 6m from adwelling in bush fire prone areas. Where a Class 10a building is located within 6m of a dwelling it must be constructed in accordance with the NCC.

SECTION 3.2 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA (PBP 2019) ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION

SECTION 8. CONCLUSION

The subject site is located in a residential area in Melonba which is under the jurisdiction of Blacktown City Council. The site is a vacant allotment. Access to the site is from Georgina Crescent to the south and future Plenty Street to the west. The site is located within a recent subdivision and will be surrounded by managed land to the north, east and west in the near future. The subject site and adjoining allotments are zoned R2 Low Density Residential. Forest vegetation is located to the south of the subdivision.

For the purpose of bushfire assessment and pursuant of clause 4.46 of the EP&A Act 1979 and 100B of the Rural Fire Act 1997, this project is considered to be an integrated development and is required to be referred to the RFS for their approval and issuance of a Bushfire Safety Authority (BFSA).

The development relates to the subdivision of Lot-6028 into 2 lots and the construction of an attached dual occupancy dwelling.

Due to the infill nature of the development, there is limited space within the site to provide an asset protection zone (APZ). A 20.6m APZ is provided which is sufficient to achieve the nominated BAL-ratings and defendable space. Georgina Crescent provides a permanent APZ that can be relied upon for perpetuity and ensures the vegetation will not encroach closer to the subject site over time. The site is to be managed as an inner APZ for perpetuity. No vegetation is required to be removed to create the APZ.

The maximum predicted radiant heat load in the event of a bushfire is 29 kW/m2. The development therefore satisfies PBP (2019) for residential subdivision. Dwelling 1 is assessed as BAL-19 and dwelling 2 is assessed as BAL-29 (S, E, W) and BAL-19 (N) as indicated in figure C and as specified in AS3959 (2018), the Australian Standard for the Construction of Buildings in a Bushfire Prone Area. The additional construction requirements stated in Section 3 AS3959 (2018) and in Planning for Bushfire Protection (2019) section 7.5 also apply.

The project can comply with the construction requirements of AS3959 (2018) and the performance requirements of the BCA. The objectives and performance requirements of PBP (2019) are also achieved.

Proposed site access, including access via the public road system is suitable for emergency response vehicles. The development complies with PBP (2019) with regards to the provision of water. The requirements for electricity and gas can also be complied with.

Should Council or the NSW Rural Fire Service have any objection to any part of this report, please provide the professional courtesy to get in contact to discuss.

RFS STANDARDS FOR ASSET PROTECTION

The following information has been taken directly from the RFS document “Standards for Asset Protection”. The full version of this document can be found at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

The intensity of bush fires can be greatly reduced where there is little to no available fuel for burning. In order to control bush fire fuels you can reduce, remove or change the state of the fuel through several means.

Reduction of fuel does not require removal of all vegetation, which would cause environmental damage. Also, trees and plants can provide you with some bush fire protection from strong winds, intense heat and flying embers (by filtering embers) and changing wind patterns. Some ground cover is also needed to prevent soil erosion.RAKING OR MANUAL REMOVAL OF FINE FUELS

• Ground fuels such as fallen leaves, twigs (less than 6 mm in diameter) and bark should be removed on a regular basis. This is fuel that burns quickly and increases the intensity of fire.

• Fine fuels can be removed by hand or with tools such as rakes, hoes and shovels.

MOWING OR GRAZING OF GRASS

• Grass needs to be kept short and, where possible, green.

REMOVAL OR PRUNING OF TREES, SHRUBS AND UNDERSTOREY

• The control of existing vegetation involves both selective fuel reduction (removal, thinning and pruning) and the retention of vegetation.

• Prune or remove trees so that you do not have a continuous tree canopy leading from the hazard to the asset. Separate tree crowns by two to five metres. A canopy should not overhang within two to five metres of a dwelling.

• Native trees and shrubs should be retained as clumps or islands and should maintain a covering of no more than 20% of the area.

WHEN CHOOSING PLANTS FOR REMOVAL, THE FOLLOWING BASIC RULES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED

• Remove noxious and environmental weeds first. Your local council can provide you with a list of environmental weeds or ‘undesirable species’. Alternatively, a list of noxious weeds can be obtained at www.agric.nsw.gov.au/ noxweed/;

• Remove more flammable species such as those with rough, flaky or stringy bark; and

• Remove or thin understorey plants, trees and shrubs less than three metres in height

• The removal of significant native species should be avoided.

GARDEN DESIGN

The following information has been taken directly from the RFS document “Standards for Asset Protection”. The full version of this document can be found at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

LAYOUT OF GARDENS IN AN APZ

When creating and maintaining a garden that is part of an APZ you should:

• ensure that vegetation does not provide a continuous path to the house;

• remove all noxious and environmental weeds;

• plant or clear vegetation into clumps rather than continuous rows;

• prune low branches two metres from the ground to prevent a ground fire from spreading into trees;

• locate vegetation far enough away from the asset so that plants will not ignite the asset by direct flame contact or radiant heat emission;

• plant and maintain short green grass around the house as this will slow the fire and reduce fire intensity. Alternatively, provide non-flammable pathways directly around the dwelling;

• ensure that shrubs and other plants do not directly abut the dwelling. Where this does occur, gardens should contain low-flammability plants and non flammable ground cover such as pebbles and crush tile; and

• avoid erecting brush type fencing and planting “pencil pine” type trees next to buildings, as these are highly flammable.

LAYOUT OF GARDENS IN AN APZ

When designing your garden it is important to consider the type of plant species and their flammability as well as their placement and arrangement.

Given the right conditions, all plants will burn. However, some plants are less flammable than others.

• Trees with loose, fibrous or stringy bark should be avoided. These trees can easily ignite and encourage the ground fire to spread up to, and then through, the crown of the trees.

Plants that are less flammable, have the following features:

• high moisture content

• high levels of salt

• low volatile oil content of leaves

• smooth barks without “ribbons” hanging from branches or trunks; and

• dense crown and elevated branches.
