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.

Download or read book Landscape and Building Design for Bushfire Areas written by Caird Ramsay and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2003-11-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted in TAFE Vocational Education category in the 2004 Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guideline provides a set of voluntary bushfire protection measures that when comprehensively followed will increase the survival prospects of the houses and provide a contingency for people to safely move through the township if they are unable to shelter in their houses. Whilst these guidelines are likely to incur some costs, it is considered that the longer termbenefits are likely to far outweigh these additional costs. Minimising costs is achieved by carefully considering these guidelines prior to designing and siting the house.

Book excerpt: "This document, Planning for Bushfire Protection, has been developed by the NSW Rural Fire Service in close consultation and collaboration with planningNSW. This document replaces the Planning for Bushfire Protection discussion document originally released in May 1991 by the then Department of Bush Fire Services; and Circular C10 Planning in Fire Prone Areas issued by the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning in 1989. This document is intended for use by councils, fire authorities, developers, planning consultants, building practitioners (including accredited certifiers), and home owners. It provides the necessary planning considerations when developing areas for residential use in residential, ruralresidential, rural and urban areas when development sites are in close proximity to areas likely to be affected by bushfire events. The document is therefore applicable to Class 1, 2 & 3 residential development as defined within the Building Code of Australia (BCA). It also addresses development under State Environmental Planning Policy No.5 (SEPP 5) Housing for Older People or People with a Disability. Its principles may be applied to the protection of other developments as councils deem appropriate (e.g. schools, hospitals, tourism developments). However, it must be recognised that these developments, due to the difficulty of preparing residents for bushfire events, may present difficulties at times of evacuation. The document outlines the bushfire planning matters which need to be considered at various stages of the planning process. This includes those matters to be considered in the preparation of local environmental plans (LEPs), subdivision design, and building construction stages." -- Introduction.
