Wentworth West Executive Summary

(i)

This bushfire management plan is prepared for the proposed subdivision and development of the Wentworth West Estate. The subject land is Lot 9503 Bartram Road Success and it is located approximately 1.5 kilometres south of Cockburn Central. The subdivision was previously approved by the WAPC (Ref No 149252) in June 2014 and this reflects the Twin Bartram Local Structure Plan (LSP) endorsed by the WAPC in 2014. The development is subject to an approved bushfire management plan prepared by TME Town Planning Management Engineering Pty Ltd (1) which was specifically referenced in the subdivision approval. The subject land is the undeveloped portion of Lot 9503 which has an area of 7.6242 hectares and is comprised of three separate portions of land being:

a) Land north of Steiner Avenue being 1.5582 ha;

b) Western portion being 4.5124ha; and

c) Eastern portion being 1.5636ha. It is noted that Lots 71 - 82 have already been created under the existing subdivision approval (WAPC Ref No 149252). Hanbury Loop, Renshaw Road and the POS area to the north east have also been constructed. The adjoining Lot 9501 is currently constructing a residential subdivision. A BAL Contour Map has been prepared and the ratings calculated for all the individual lots. This confirms that all of the proposed lots will have a BAL-19 or lower rating. The aim of this Report is to reduce the threat to the residents in the proposed subdivision in the event of a bushfire within or adjacent to the development. It demonstrates:

• How the hazard level will be reduced and maintained for the life of the development.

• That compliance with the Bushfire Protection Criteria in the Guidelines can be achieved. The bushfire hazard issue relates to interface between the development and the wetland area. The secondary concern relates to the transmission line easement and the balance of Lot 9503. The proposed subdivision complies with the objectives of State Planning Policy 3.7 as:

1. It avoids any increase in the threat of bushfire to people, property and infrastructure.

Development with a maximum BAL-29 rating it does not increase the threat of bushfire. The proposed subdivision design does not increase the bushfire threat as it complies with the Bushfire Protection Criteria and provides for the management of vegetation hazards, suitable road access and appropriate separation distances with all proposed lots having a BAL-29 rating or lower.

2. It reduces vulnerability to bushfire through the identification and consideration of bushfire risks in the design of the development and the decision-making process.

The bushfire hazard and risks have been identified and assessed in this report.

3. The design of the subdivision and the development takes into account bushfire protection requirements and includes specific bushfire protection measures.

The proposed development complies with the Bushfire Protection Criteria.

Wentworth West Executive Summary

(ii)

4. Achieves an appropriate balance between bushfire risk management measures and biodiversity, conservation values, and environmental protection.

The vegetation on the site which is to be cleared for any development does not have any significant conservation value. The wetland foreshore has already been rehabilitated and provision for this has been included in the design and assessment.

The recommendations in this report should not be construed to assure total bush fire protection and do not guarantee that a building will not be damaged in a bush fire. The severity of a bush fire will depend upon the vegetation fuel loadings; the prevailing weather conditions and the implementation of appropriate fire management measures.

1.0 PROPOSAL DETAILS

1.1 Introduction

This bushfire management plan is prepared for the proposed subdivision and development of the Wentworth West Estate. The subject land is Lot 9503 Bartram Road Success. The site is located approximately 1.5 kilometres south of Cockburn Central as shown in Figure 1. The subdivision was previously approved by the WAPC (Ref No 149252) in June 2014 and this reflects the Twin Bartram Local Structure Plan (LSP) endorsed by the WAPC in 2014. The development is subject to an approved bushfire management plan prepared by TME Town Planning Management Engineering Pty Ltd (2) which was specifically referenced in the subdivision approval. The aim of this Report is to reduce the likelihood and consequences of a bushfire within the proposed development. The Report also demonstrates:

1) How the hazard level will be reduced and maintained for the life of the development. This will enable the decision-maker to ensure that appropriate bushfire risk management measures are in place to achieve and maintain a low or moderate hazard level.

2) That compliance with the Bushfire Protection Criteria in the Guidelines can be achieved.

1.2 Existing Conditions

The subject land is the undeveloped portion of Lot 9503 which has an area of 7.6242 hectares and is comprised of three separate portions of land as shown in Figure 2 and being:

d) Land north of Steiner Avenue being 1.5582 ha;

e) Western portion being 4.5124ha; and

f) Eastern portion being 1.5636ha. The subject land is vacant and the two most significant features of the site are:

• The Bartram swamp to the north of the site; and

• The Western Power transmission line over the western portion of the site. To the east of the site is Lot 9501 is a semi rural unsubdivided lot with an existing dwelling. This land is presently being developed for residential purposes with a subdivision under construction. To the west and north of the site is existing residential development which forms part of the Thomson’s Lake Estate. To the south are additional residential development and a Water Corporation water treatment site.

1.3 Bushfire Prone Land

The southern portions of the subject land are shown on the Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas (Figure 3) as being bushfire prone. Bushfire prone areas are comprised of (3):

• Bushfire prone vegetation; and

• A 100m wide bushfire prone buffer. The designation of bushfire prone areas triggers:

• The application of Australian Standard AS3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas under the Building Code of Australia;

• The provisions of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Amendment Regulations 2015; and

• The application of SPP3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas.

1.4 Fire Control Order

The City’s Fire Control Order stipulates that:

❖ Properties over 2032m³ must have a 3 metre wide boundary firebreak with a 4 metre vertical clearance; and

❖ Properties less than 2032m³ must have all flammable materials such as long dry grass and weeds slashed, mown or trimmed down to a maximum height of 50mm across the entire property and all dead vegetation must be removed.

The above measures must be installed by the1 November each year and maintained to 15 April.

1.5 Proposed Development

The proposed subdivision / development plan is shown in Figure 4 and the development area site is primarily located within Hanbury Loop. A total 31 lots will be created and these will have areas of between 360 to 590sqm. It is noted that Lots 71 - 82 have already been created under the existing subdivision approval (WAPC Ref No 149252). Hanbury Loop, Renshaw Road and the POS area to the north east have all been constructed as shown in the following photographs. A 17m wide limestone accessway / low fuel zone will also be created adjacent to the western boundary of lots 64 to 82.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 Native Vegetation Modification and Clearing

There is no clearing associated with the proposal. However, Lot 9501 to the east of the site is presently being developed as a residential subdivision.

2.2 Re-vegetation / Landscape Plans

The originally proposed landscaping and revegetation of the wetland foreshore and POS areas has already been completed. It is also noted that the western portion of Lot 9503, under the transmission lines, has been subject to some re-vegetation of scrub like plants which are documented in Section 3.1. This area will be further modified by:

• Development of an eight (8) metre wide access limestone track and associated treatment extending for a distance of 17m from the rear boundary of the existing lots along Hanbury Loop; and

• Sand excavation under the middle section of the transmission lines. Once completed this will be treated with hydro mulch but for the purposes of the BAL Contour Map it will be assumed to be grassland.

The modified vegetation is shown in Figure 6 (Section 3.2) as it has been used to determine the BAL Contours.

A BAL Contour Map is shown in Figure 7 and this is a plan of the subject lot/s illustrating the potential radiant heat impacts and associated indicative BAL ratings in reference to any classified vegetation remaining within 100 metres of the assessment area after the development is completed. The BAL Contour Map is based on the following assumption:

• That the vegetation modifications outlined in Section 2.0 occur being; sand extraction; construction of a 17m wide limestone pathway and clearing of vegetation in Lot 9501 to the east of the subject land;

• That any vacant undeveloped lots within the subject land will be maintained as low threat vegetation; and

• That the existing vacant lots in the previous stages of the estate and in particular Lots 71 to 82 will be maintained as low threat vegetation in accordance with Council’s Fire Control Order.

The BAL ratings for the individual lots are documented in Table 3. These ratings have been measured from the nearest point of the lot to the hazard vegetation and the BAL rating for the actual site of any future dwelling may differ from this. Figure 7 and Table 3 confirms that all lots have a BAL-29 or lower rating.

4.0 IDENTIFICATION OF BUSHFIRE HAZARD ISSUES

Figure 1 shows the existing conditions for the locality around the subject land. The most significant bushfire hazards are:

• The vegetation in the Bartram Swamp; and

• The vegetation to the south of Bartram Road around the Water Corporation treatment plant.

The primary concern relates to interface between the development and the wetland area. While the predominant wind is from the east and the south west (sea breeze) northerly winds are often associated with hotter temperatures and more severe fire weather conditions. The secondary concern relates to the transmission line easement. This applies to the proposed lots on the eastern side of the easement and the existing lots on the western side i.e. in Marav Crt; and Mersey Close. The existing development on the northern side of Steiner Avenue is within 100m of the hazard vegetation and could be impacted by ember attack. None of the existing dwellings north of Steiner Ave and to the west of the site are part of this fire management plan. Fire construction standards cannot be applied retrospectively to these dwellings.
