The devastation wreaked by bushfires on Australian homes and landscapes is an all too familiar scenario. Yet, why do we often see one house burn, whilst an apparently similar house on an adjacent block can endure? Research has shown that many factors affect the chances of a building surviving a bushfire. If you are designing landscapes and buildings in bushfire areas you need to be aware of these factors so that the chances of losses to life and property can be minimised. Landscape & Building Design for Bushfire Areas integrates the latest scientific knowledge about buildings and bushfires with a flexible design approach. The book contains two main sections: 1) Provides a clear description of what happens in a bushfire. It describes the environment in which bushfires occur, how a fire attacks, and how buildings are ignited and destroyed. 2) Sets out a practical design approach to the design of buildings and their immediate surroundings. It presents a range of options for designing the various elements of both landscapes and buildings in bushfire-prone areas. This book encourages design for bushfire to be included as a normal part of designing in bushfire-prone areas, rather than as an undesirable add-on. It will assist planning and building regulatory authorities to improve and administer regulatory requirements and guidelines.

Book excerpt: "The devastation caused by recent bushfires in Tasmania, Victoria and NSW are a constant reminder that we live in one of the most bushfire prone regions in the world and that we must plan for bushfire. In October 2012, the Tasmanian Government introduced significant reforms for planning and building in bushfire-prone areas. The reforms aim to balance development in bushfire-prone areas with the physical, social and emotional risk of bushfire in our communities. Building for Bushfire will help you to understand the new planning and building requirements if you are looking to buy or build in a bushfire-prone area. It provides information on whether bushfire needs to be considered, what’s in a Bushfire Hazard Management Plan and the steps for getting one"--A message from the Chief Officer.
