Which Report Will I need?

Generally, development on a property in a Bushfire Prone area will require a BAL Assessment (Bushfire Attack Level Assessment).  These only relate to the construction requirements.

Development on a property with a BMO will usually require more extensive reports know as a Bushfire Management Overlay Report and a Bushfire Management Plan.  The zoning of the property dictates whether the report is a Pathway 1 or 2 report and Pathway 3 for a subdivision.

Pathway 1

Pathway 1 applies to an application to construct a single dwelling or construct or carry out works greater than 50% of the existing floor area associated with a single dwelling where the following apply:

• The land is zoned Neighbourhood Residential Zone, General Residential Zone, Residential Growth Zone, Urban Growth Zone, Low Density Residential Zone, Township Zone or Rural Living Zone.
• There is only one dwelling on the lot.

The report will include;

• A bushfire hazard site assessment
• A  bushfire  management  statement  

Pathway 2

Applies to all other development and includes the following;

• A bushfire hazard site assessment
• A bushfire hazard landscape assessment
• A  bushfire  management  statement  

Pathway 3

Applies to subdivisions.
