Our team of BPAD Accredited Practitioners, including Level 3 consultants, are suitably qualified and experienced to bring a depth of expertise that few others can match. We have worked on everything from private subdivisions and strategic land use proposals to carbon farming projects, offset planting, large-scale developments, tourism, mining and renewables. We have the qualifications and capacity to assess and manage bushfire risk on even the most complex sites and large scale developments.
Our Bushfire Management Plans (BMP’s) and Bushfire Hazard Assessments (BHA) are developed to meet the specific needs of each site and project, ensuring compliance with state and local bushfire planning frameworks. We regularly prepare BMP’s to support Development Applications and subdivision proposals across a wide range of land uses including residential, rural, industrial, commercial, tourism, environmental offsets, and carbon offset projects.
Each BMP or BHA includes clear reporting and mapping of bushfire risk, mitigation and management strategies, and site planning measures including compliance with State Planning Policy and Local Planning Schemes. Where required, we incorporate supporting assessments such as Bushfire Attack Level’s (BAL’s), BAL Contour Mapping, Broader Landscape Assessments (BLA), and Bushfire Risk Assessments and Mitigation and Management Plans.
In Western Australia, our BMP’s align with State Planning Policy 3.7 and the Guidelines for Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas. In Queensland, we prepare Bushfire Hazard Assessments that are compliant with the State Planning Policy (Natural Hazards – Bushfire) and local government planning schemes, and that incorporate local overlays, mapping, and relevant planning codes. These comprehensive reports set out the bushfire risk, mitigation strategies, and compliance measures required for your development to proceed through the planning system. We tailor each BMP to the unique characteristics of your site considering topography, vegetation, and proposed land use to deliver effective and defendable planning outcomes.
Our consultants combine technical expertise with practical fire behaviour knowledge. We have a team of BPAD Level 1, 2, and 3 Accredited Practitioners allowing us to manage complex proposals and ensure plans are aligned with actual site conditions not just planning overlays.
We work collaboratively with planners, designers, builders, authorities and project teams to integrate bushfire planning considerations early helping you make informed design decisions, minimise risk exposure, and keep your project progressing.
We regularly support projects including:
We offer additional support where more complex projects or sensitive land uses require a broader approach including:
Working across all sectors from residential development and infrastructure planning to government policy and reserve management, our approach combines extensive fire behaviour knowledge, planning expertise, and a sound understanding of project delivery.
