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.
