Bushfire Protection Planning - Pre Purchase Assessment

Are you building to Level 1, 2 or 3 Construction Standard ?

Building standards for home construction on Bushfire Prone land

Don't waste your money and time submitting non conforming plans to your Council because you will
have to pay again for the correct plans. Your application to your Council will not proceed unless accompanied by a Bushfire Threat Assessment.

You want your individually planned home to become a reality not a nightmare. In addition to
submitting your Bushfire Threat Assessment to your Council it is your responsibility to submit plans that comply with Australian Standard 3959 – 1999 for building homes on designated Bushfire Prone land.

Your home design and construction and your subsequent safety from bushfire will be significantly, beneficially influenced by Australian Standard 3959 – 1999.

Home extensions on Bushfire Prone land

Depending on which direction you are extending, do you know which Construction Level to comply with?

It's your time and money that is wasted if you submit non conforming plans to your Council. With or without conforming plans your application will not be processed by your Council unless accompanied by a Bushfire Threat Assessment.

You want your plans to pass through the approval process with the minimum of delay and
inconvenience and the process won’t commence without the Bushfire Threat Assessment.

Your home extension and construction and subsequent safety from bushfire will benefit from the requirements of Australian Standard 3959 – 1999 pertaining to Bushfire Prone land. This Standard must be considered and implemented with your project if applicable.
