Field verification or ‘ground truthing’ of these preliminary results should then be undertaken. Frequent bushfires can result in the development of bushfire-tolerant grassy woodlands or grasslands and less destructive bushfire behaviour. Biodiversity areas planning scheme policy. Preliminary bushfire hazard maps should be prepared based on the results of Step 4 above by aggregating all sub-units with similar levels of bushfire hazard severity into 'high' and 'medium' severity classifications. Air quality planning scheme policy. Long property access roads linking dwelling houses to public roads are to be minimised.This planning scheme policy provides information required for a development application and guidance and advice for satisfying an assessment benchmark for the preparation of a site-specific or precinct-wide bushfire hazard assessment and bushfire management plans.Queensland Government (2013 December), Draft SPP Guideline, State interest—natural hazards, Guidance on flood, bushfire and landslide, Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.Hazardous vegetation: an area of vegetation which is a potential source of bushfire hazard:Total hazard score = vegetation community hazard score + slope hazard score + aspect hazard score.A bushfire management plan is to be prepared by a professional who is suitably qualified and experienced with technical expertise in the field of bushfire hazard identification and mitigation, including protection of biodiversity values, and is to:At a minimum the local government, responsible rural and/or urban fire brigade, and managers of adjacent parks or reserves should be consulted.

In this planning scheme policy, unless the context or subject matter otherwise indicates or requires, a term has the following meaning:ppm: the concentration of pollutant in parts per million, expressed as volume/volumeThis planning scheme policy provides information required for a development application, guidance and advice for satisfying assessment benchmarks and standards for:Cumulative impacts of pollutants at sensitive uses or sensitive zones are assessed for compliance with the air quality (planning) criteria by adding the predicted site impacts to either the representative background air quality monitoring data or to modelled impacts from other sources of air pollutants.The model is to include stack tip downwash if appropriate for the source setup.Stack sources which have an impeded vertical discharge due to rain hats or other obstructions are to be modelled as either a volume or area source unless the dispersion model can include the rain hat as a model option. In extremely broken country where there is a range of aspects, the predominant aspect should be used.For most types of development, bushfire risk is generally assessed based on the vegetation existing on and in proximity to the site. Note—This planning scheme policy does not provide guidance on: ecological restoration and rehabilitation planting. Aspect also correlates closely with exposure to low humidity winds that increase bushfire intensity. Based on Cadastral Data provided with the permission of the Department of Natural Resources and Mines. As adopted by Council, effective 24 March 2017. The table below lists all the planning scheme policies applicable to the planning scheme area. It is also desirable to consult other agencies or individuals, such as previous owners of the site or neighbours, who may have local knowledge of the severity and nature of the bushfire hazard.The scores for the individual factors determined for vegetation communities, slope and aspect are added to give a total for each sub-unit as follows:Alternatively, vegetation communities may expose fuels to drying and therefore be frequently available for burning. To properly interpret the maps, the planning scheme must be referred to. SC6.3 .
