Nature Advisory Case Study Clyde North Bush Fire Management Plan

Bushfire Planning & Management

For everything from outbuildings and single dwellings to educational and sporting facilities and large, staged residential developments, Nature Advisory offers a variety of bushfire assessment services to assist your project’s compliance with the Victorian planning controls that aim to reduce risk to life, property, and infrastructure from bushfire.

Whether in a Bushfire Management Overlay (BMP) or just a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA), our team of qualified Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessors have the experience and knowledge to understand the potential bushfire risks in your area and help ensure your project meets the Australian Standard AS 3959, Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas, and satisfies the relevant permit application requirements.

Our Bushfire related services:

  • BAL Assessments
  • Preparation of Bushfire Management Statements
  • Creation of Bushfire Management Plans
  • Liaison with your local Council, Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and the Country Fire Authority (CFA)
  • Provision of Expert Witness Statements

We take an integrated approach to a site assessment and can simultaneously undertake bushfire and native vegetation assessments. This is a more cost-effective and streamlined process for dealing with both bushfire and native vegetation planning provisions. Such facilitation incorporates:

  • Integrated native vegetation and bushfire assessment to optimise outcomes
  • Assessments of native vegetation losses resulting from bushfire mitigation requirements
  • Thorough understanding of bushfire exemptions
