Vesi were approached to provide a preliminary assessment of the implications on a potential subdivision site being included in the Brisbane City Council Bushfire Hazard overlay. The site was partially affected by the high hazard buffer area, which would have potential implications for subdivision, market appeal and subsequent construction costs.   Reference was made to state bushfire hazard mapping, and local conditions.   The preliminary advice of a bushfire planning specialist was sought.   Preliminary advice was able to be provided on the likely assessment of bushfire hazard. The level of hazard will be determined formally by a bushfire hazard assessment, which is required for Development Application purposes.
