Revised map and guidelines for planning in bushfire prone areas
Significant changes to terminology, definitions and generally understood processes have been revised within the new guidelines, which took effect in December 2021. Previous Position Statements and Planning Bulletins have also been replaced and rescinded.
This resource details what has changed from a Planning perspective, specifically in relation to siting and design of habitable buildings, vehicular access and acceptable designs for water storage. It also outlines Building Regulations considerations.
Read this resource to understand what implications the revisions to the mapping and Guidelines have on the preparation of Bushfire Management Plans (BMPs).
