Executive Summary

This report responds to the Bushfire Protection Planning Provisions of the Colac Otway Planning

Scheme and the Victorian Planning Provisions (VPPs), in relation to a proposed dwelling at 6 Railway

Line Road, Kawarren.

The report provides an assessment in relation to the objectives and mandatory standards for bushfire

protection in the context of the proposed farm dwelling.

All mandatory objectives and approved measures can be met within the property.

The ongoing implementation of the fire protection measures outlined in this document and within the

accompanying Bushfire Management Plan will ensure that risk to property and life from bushfire is

minimised.


1.0 Introduction

1.1 Scope

Bond Homes on behalf of Lisa Hodge have engaged Rod Bright & Associates Pty Ltd to undertake a

bushfire management statement and plan to satisfy the requirements of the Bushfire Management

Overlay in relation to a proposed dwelling at Riches Access/Railway Line Road, Kawarren.

The land is affected by the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), which has the following purpose:

▪ To implement the Municipal Planning Strategy and the Planning Policy Framework;

▪ To ensure that the development of land prioritises the protection of human life and strengthens

community resilience to bushfire;

▪ To identify areas where the bushfire hazard warrants bushfire protection measures to be

implemented;

▪ To ensure development is only permitted where the risk to life and property from bushfire can

be reduced to an acceptable level.

Clause 53.02 Bushfire Planning has the following purpose furthering the intention of the BMO:

• To ensure that the location, design and construction of development appropriately responds to

the bushfire hazard.

• To specify location, design and construction measures for a single dwelling that reduces the

bushfire risk to life and property to an acceptable level.

This report seeks to respond to the above requirements in the context of the proposed dwelling, and

addresses relevant Bushfire planning strategies and principles of the Victorian Planning Provisions, the

planning requirements for bushfire - provisions of Clause 53.02 of the Colac Otway Planning Scheme,

and AS3959-2018 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire–prone Areas, as applicable.

A Schedule to the BMO does not apply to the subject land.

1.2 Methodology

A site inspection and assessment was undertaken on 20 August 2020. Photos contained within this

report are from this day, unless otherwise marked.

Aerial images are from Google Earth Pro, the Victorian Government or courtesy of Colac Otway Shire.

Effective slope has been either based on site measurements by a digital clinometer or calculated using

on-line contour information.

Vegetation has been classified using the CFA Document “Vegetation Classes in the Victorian Bushfire

Management Overlay” 2014.


1.3 Proposal

The proposal is to use and develop the land for a dwelling & shed. The dwelling location has been

identified and plans have been viewed (20-100 25.05.2020) as part of this assessment.

The land will continue to be grazed by horses.

A detailed description of the site and surrounds is provided later in this report.

1.4 Planning Provisions

Under the provisions of the Colac Otway Planning Scheme:

• The land is zoned Rural Living (RLZ),

• Land adjacent to the site along the western boundary is zoned Road Zone Category 1 (RDZ1).

The following overlays apply:

• Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO),

• Erosion Management Overlay: Schedule 1 (EMO1) - Land susceptible to landslip and erosion,

• Environment Significance Overlay: Schedule 3 (ESO3) – Declared water supply catchments.

Part of the land is within 200 metres of Loves Creek and is located within an area of Aboriginal Cultural

Heritage Significance.

Figure 4: Subject land – indicative boundary location. Image source: Google Earth – CNES/Airbus 2020


2.3 Site shape, dimensions, size, topography:

The 1.2 ha site comprises a mix of open pasture, remnant vegetation and understorey which slopes

towards the north and north-west to an ephemeral creek and small dam.

Slope in this direction is not consistent due to the presence of the raised road formation of the Colac

Lavers Hill Road and the Beechy Line Rail Trail.

The creek continues under the Colac-Lavers Hill road in a westerly direction and joins with Loves Creek.

The Beechy Line Rail Trail passes through part of the title on the raised embankment.

Photo 5: Railway Line Rd/Riches Access intersection.


2.6 Existing vegetation within the site.

Vegetation comprises areas of cleared pasture with remnant vegetation to the north and west.

The vegetation has been classified under AS3959 for the purposes of this report using the document

Vegetation Classes within the Victorian Bushfire Management Overlay (2014).

Dominant vegetation within the site is classified as “Forest” and “Grassland”. A site assessment

identifies that vegetation is likely to be Forest (wet)) due to the presence of tall eucalypts and strong

presence of understorey acacia trees with rainfall exceeding a mean of 1000mm per year (Forrest State

Forest weather station, 2019, BOM). The vegetation in areas may have been disturbed, perhaps as part

of construction of the roads and railway lines.

Vegetation is classified by Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC) 16 Lowland Forest – Otway Plains

Bioregion. Typical Eucalyptus species found in the canopy layer include: Eucalyptus obliqua- Messmate

Stringybark, Eucalyptus baxteri s.l. Brown Stringybark.

For the purposes of this report the vegetation is classified as Forest and Grassland (pasture) within 150m

of the proposed building envelope as required by Clause 44.06-3 and AS3959:2018.

An additional level of modification to the Forest vegetation within the site is evident due to presence of

grazing animals. Vegetation between the creek and the east side of the Colac Lavers Hill Road has a

heavy understorey and is typical of understorey fuel in the area. For this reason, and the potential for

regeneration, Forest is not classified as modified in this direction from the dwelling.

The creek running through adjacent land to the north have potential for vegetation regeneration. The

future fuel load potential of these creek-lines is not easily predicted.

Defendable space is determined having regard to the highest risk vegetation within 150m of the site also

in accordance with the standard.

2.7 Other site features/constraints relevant to bushfire hazard.

Conventional reticulated water and sewer are not available.

A powerline easement with associated powerlines connect within the site and restricts dwelling location.

2.8 Existing use, development and vegetation on adjoining sites

Surrounding land is generally used for small scale farming activities and lifestyle properties. Areas of

remnant vegetation are interspersed by cleared pasture and building envelopes, and dissected by creeks

and gullies.

Nearby land – (outside 150m radius) is used for timber production with Radiata spp, plantations and

others evident.

3.0 Bushfire Hazard Site Assessment

The site assessment classifies the vegetation and slope within a radius of 150 metres around the site and

allocates a Building Attack Level (BAL) in accordance with AS3959-2018 and the Bushfire Management

Overlay.

*Slope for this assessment has been determined by contour information. Particularly to the north and

west, slopes vary due to the presence of raised embankments for the former railway line and roads. The

underlying slope has been adopted for the purpose of the assessment.

Note 2 to Table 2: Modified vegetation is vegetation that does not fit into the vegetation classifications

in AS2959:2009 because it:

• Has been modified, altered or is managed due to urban development, or gardening,

• Has different fuel loads to those assumed in the standard,

• Has limited or no understory vegetation, or

• Is not low-threat or low -risk vegetation as defined in the standard.

Defendable space for modified vegetation is to be provided for a distance of 50 metres, or to the

property boundary whichever is the lesser, for buildings constructed to all bushfire attack levels. The

minimum construction standard is BAL29.

3.4 Defendable Space and Construction Requirements

Refer to Figure 9 and Attachment 8.1 Bushfire Management Plan.

The location suitable for the dwelling has been constrained by the powerline easement and available

land area.

The plan demonstrates that within the site, there is separation from high fuel load areas to enable

defendable space to be achieved for BAL29 to the higher risk directions – north, west and south west.

The presence of modified vegetation around the existing neighbouring dwelling to the south and along

the creek line at the eastern extent of the 150m radius trigger the requirement for defendable space to

the boundary line. Grassland vegetation in the adjoining allotment to the east is likely to form part of the

lot’s defendable space for a future dwelling and will increase the area of defendable space overall for

both lots.

The image in Figure 9 and elsewhere in this report show an indicative presence and extent of the

vegetation canopy. This extent is an estimate due to shadowing and changing conditions. It is the

landholder’s responsibility to ensure the defendable space management requirements are met to the

relevant distance on the ground within the allotment.

BAL29 is allocated for the dwelling and site as derived from the site assessment.

The land falls within broader landscape “Type 4”: Technical Guide - Planning Permit Applications -

Bushfire Management Overlay, 2017, DELWP. State of Victoria Department of Environment, Land,

Water and Planning 2017

The presence of forest vegetation in national parks and state park, forested tree plantations around the

site at the landscape scale, and unmanaged vegetation elevate this site to the more extreme category of

landscape risk.

Evacuation options are not available.

Gellibrand is the closest township area however the township has no Bushfire Neighbourhood Safer

Place.

Colac is the most appropriate evacuation point however requires travel through bush along Colac-Lavers

Hill Road for some kilometres. Access to Colac-Lavers Hill Road could be restricted in a fire impacting

the area.

Other lifestyle properties in the area with areas of grazed pasture in low fuel condition would maintain

defendable space but broadly there are no non-combustible locations.

The presence of shedding bark in the stringy bark eucalypts would increase the risk of fire spread and

spot fires with raining ember attack on any future dwellings likely, regardless of defendable space.

CFA District 6’s Joint Fuel Management Program 2019-2022 identifies a number of sites in the wider area

around Gellibrand and Kawarren for fuel reduction burning.

5.0 Bushfire Management Statement

The following section provides a site-specific response to the Bushfire Protection – Planning

requirements (Clause 53.02) of the Victorian Planning Provisions (VPPs) and the Bushfire Protection

Objectives of 52.03-3 and/or 53.02-4.

5.1 Bushfire Planning Purpose

The purpose of the Bushfire Planning Provisions of 53.02 are:

• To Implement the Municipal Planning Strategy and the Planning Policy Framework

• To ensure the development of land prioritises the protection of human life and strengthens

community resilience to bushfire,

• To ensure that the location, design, construction of development appropriately responds to the

bushfire hazard,

• To ensure development is only permitted where the risk to life, property and community

infrastructure from bushfire can be reduced to an acceptable level.

• To specify location, design and construction measures for a single dwelling that reduces the

bushfire risk to life and property to an acceptable level.

Dwellings in existing settlements - application: PATHWAY 1: Clause 53.02-3 applies to this permit

application. The land is within a Rural Living Zone, there will only be one dwelling on the lot, and

the application meets all of the approved measures contained in clause 53.02-3 and described

below.

Approved

Measures

Requirement Response

AM1.1 A building is sited to ensure the site best

achieves the following:

• The maximum separation distance

between the building and the bushfire

hazards;

• The building is in close proximity to a

public road.

Access can be provided to the building for

emergency service vehicles.

The proposed building location achieves

maximum separation from the risk in the

context of other site constraints.

The building is in close proximity to a

public road, including the sealed Colac-

Lavers Hill Road.

Access can be provided for emergency

vehicles.

AM1.2 A building provides the defendable space in

accordance with Table 1 Columns A, B, C,

D or E and Table 6 to Clause 53.02-5.

Adjoining land may be included as

defendable space where there is a

reasonable assurance that the land will

remain or continue to be managed in that

condition as part of the defendable

space.

Defendable space for BAL29 will be

provided wholly within the title

boundaries of the land.

In the future it is likely to merge with

adjoining land defendable space when

that lot is developed.


A building is constructed to the bushfire

attack level:

• That corresponds to the defendable

space provided in accordance with

Table 1 to Clause 53.02-5, or

• The next lower bushfire attack level

that corresponds to the defendable

space provided in accordance with

Table 1 to Clause 53.02-5 where all of

the following apply:

o A private bushfire shelter (a

Class 10c building within the

meaning of the Building

Regulations 2006) is

constructed on the same

land as the dwelling.

o A minimum bushfire attack

level of BAL12.5 is provided

in all circumstances.

Refer to the accompanying bushfire

management plan.

The plan requires a building to be

constructed to the corresponding BAL29

(AS3959-2018) or as amended.

The key setbacks are 32m from the tree

canopy to the north and west of the house

site, and to the south and east to the

property line.

The eastern boundary is approx. 6m from

the proposed dwelling.

AM1.3 A building is provided with:

• A static water supply for fire fighting

and property protection purposes

specified in Table 4 to Clause 53.02-

5. The water supply may be in the

same tanks as other water supplies

provided that a separate outlet is

reserved for fire fighting water

supplies.

• Vehicle access that is designed and

constructed as specified in Table 5 to

Clause 53.02-5.

Static water supply and vehicle access to

be provided in accordance with CFA

standards.


5.5 Bushfire Planning Assessment

State Bushfire planning policy (cl 13.02-1S) applies to the land.

Its objective is to strengthen the resilience of settlements and communities to bushfire through risk-based

planning that prioritises the protection of human life.

Strategies to achieve the objective relevant to this site and scenario comprise Protection of Human Life

Strategy and Bushfire hazard id and assessment, shown below:


Despite Kawarren being an established settlement with many lifestyle properties and zoned Rural living,

the area and landscape risk is significant.

It is recommended that additional safety measures are implemented to assist in mitigating against the

wider landscape risk.

6.0 Additional Recommendations

The following recommendations are offered in respect to ensuring bushfire protection objectives are

achieved for site on an ongoing basis:

1. The future dwelling be constructed to comply with requirements of BAL29 or higher under

AS3959-2018, as noted on the plan.

2. Defendable space vegetation maintenance could be extended to the western extent of the

driveway entry point (Riches Access).

3. Clear access to water tanks or water points should be maintained at all times (and kept clear of

any vegetation).

4. Landholders could consider installing additional protection measures, such as sprinklers or

wetting devices on the dwelling and/or surrounding garden/landscape, using gutter guards and

valley guards, where not picked up through construction requirements under AS3959.

5. Landholders should consider bushfire safety in landscaping design, such as using non-

combustible materials in fencing and other landscape features. Specifically, no mulch or garden

beds should be installed abutting the dwelling.

6. If the adjacent land/property to the east is not maintained in low fuel condition, the owners

should consider installing a steel fence along part of the property boundary between the house

and grassland vegetation.

7. Landholders should consider the likely ember attack as the greatest bushfire threat to the site

and incorporate toughened glass, shutters and screens for window protection, where not

required under AS3959.

8. Landholders should consider installing a VBA-accredited private bushfire bunker as last resort

protection, given the difficulty of evacuation from this location.

9. Landholders should familiarise themselves with current CFA advice regarding fire farm

management planning and property preparation, in addition to personal and dwelling planning

and preparation.

10. The deck, verandah and stairs – where these connect to the building façade, would be weaker

points providing combustion opportunities to the dwelling and use of non-combustible

materials for these is recommended.
