🔥 How We Assess Your Bushfire Risk

At Bushfire Consulting Services, our assessment includes a comprehensive inspection of your site and the surrounding bushland.
We gather all the critical information needed to accurately determine the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL), including:

The type of hazardous vegetation
The topography (slope and landscape features)
The distance between the bushfire hazard and your proposed development.

All of this detailed analysis ensures your project is assessed for compliance with the NSW Rural Fire Service’s Planning for Bush Fire Protection (PBP 2019) guidelines — helping you meet today’s bushfire protection standards safely and reliably.

From start to finish

From the initial consultation to the final report, their team demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and friendliness. They took the time to understand our specific needs and concerns, providing personalized guidance and recommendations. Their expertise in bushfire risk assessment and mitigation strategies is unparalleled. They helped us develop a comprehensive plan to protect our property and ensure our safety during bushfire season. What truly sets this company apart, however, is their outstanding customer service.
