Clause 53.02 Bushfire planning works alongside the BMO. It sets out specific bushfire protection objectives and design measures that applications must meet including:

  • landscape and site hazard assessments
  • building siting, design and ability to withstand bushfire attack (BAL)
  • defendable space and vegetation requirements
  • on-site water supply
  • emergency services vehicle access.

If you’re in a BMO schedule, it may specify other or additional measures.
