Bush Fire Assessment Report

When you’re building on bushfire-prone land, a Bush Fire Assessment Report is essential — and at Bushfire Consulting Services, Catherine Gorrie and her team make the process easy, reliable, and stress-free.

A Bush Fire Assessment Report tells you:

  • Your development’s Bushfire Attack Level (BAL), and
  • How your development matches the rules in Planning for Bush Fire Protection 2019, a key document by the Rural Fire Service.

This report is a must-have if you are:

  • Applying for a Development Application (DA) with your local Council, or
  • Lodging a Complying Development application with a Principal Certifying Authority

 

🛡️ What Bushfire Consulting Services Provides

At Bushfire Consulting Services, we prepare your Bush Fire Assessment Report to be:

  • Easy for Council and or the Rural Fire Service to assess, and
  • Tailored specifically to your development.

Our experienced team, led by Catherine Gorrie, carries out a comprehensive site inspection and uses the latest aerial maps and contour data through advanced GIS technology.
Because we are dependable, trustworthy, and thorough, you can feel confident that your application will be set up for success.

Where possible, we suggest practical ways to lower your Bushfire Attack Level, like adjusting the location of your home to create more distance from bushfire hazards — saving you money and reducing construction requirements.
