Bushfire

 
State and local government policy stipulates land owner and development obligations for identifying and managing bushfire risk. A bushfire risk assessment is undertaken to determine the level of bushfire risk relevant to a property, group of properties or even at a shire wide basis by analysing risk factors such as vegetation type, aspect, topology and fire regime. Once the bushfire risk associated with a particular development area has been quantified then an appropriate Bushfire Management Plan can be constructed to mitigate the perceived risk through detailed development design mitigation measures.

All bushfire hazard assessments and management plans undertaken by NCES are completed in accordance with the methodologies prescribed within:
 
  • State Planning Policy 1/03: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide
  • AS 3959- Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas
  • Local government planning scheme codes and schedules
Our services are most commonly related to facilitating the safe and effective mitigation of bushfire impacts to new residential and rural-residential developments located within or adjacent to bushfire prone areas. This includes assessments ranging from single dwelling “as of right” developments to large scale residential subdivisions.

NCES’s detailed knowledge of bushfire science, local bushfire weather conditions and risk factors enables us to offer our clientele appropriate risk advice and protective planning measures to secure project safety and ensure regulatory compliance is achieved and approvals granted. We offer proven development success in the following:
 
  • Bushfire Ecology
