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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries such as the UK, the energy used in constructing, occupying and operating buildings represents approximately fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure to improve the environmental performance of buildings during both construction and occupancy, particularly to reduce carbon emissions from buildings, has become intense. Understandably, legislation and regulation are driving green development and compliance. And this is happening in a wide variety of ways. This review of the law in key jurisdictions for the research community, lawyers, the construction industry and government examines some of the mechanisms in place – from the more traditional building regulation controls to green leases and the law relating to buildings and their natural environment. Members of the CIB TG69 research group on ‘Green Buildings and the Law’ review aspects of the law relating to green development in a range of jurisdictions.

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.

Download or read book Planning Australia s Healthy Built Environments written by Jennifer L. Kent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning Australia’s Healthy Built Environments shines a quintessentially Australian light on the links between land use planning and human health. A burgeoning body of empirical research demonstrates the ways urban structure and governance influences human health—and Australia is playing a pivotal role in developing understandings of the relationships between health and the built environment. This book takes a retrospective look at many of the challenges faced in pushing the healthy built environment agenda forward. It provides a clear and theoretically sound framework to inform this work into the future. With an emphasis on context and the pursuit of equity, Jennifer L. Kent and Susan Thompson supply specific ways to better incorporate idiosyncrasies of place and culture into urban planning interventions for health promotion. By chronicling the ways health and the built environment scholarship and practice can work together, Planning Australia’s Healthy Built Environments enters into new theoretical and practical debates in this critically important area of research. This book will resonate with both health and built environment scholars and practitioners working to create sustainable and health-supportive urban environments.
