When Building in Tasmania, a Bushfire Hazard Management Plan is required for any new development within a 'bushfire-prone area'.

​

An accredited Bushfire Hazard Practitioner will need to assess the site to determine the bushfire attack level (BAL) and prepare a written report and associated management plan for the development. This is required as part of the documentation to gain a building permit. 

​

It is recommended that an assessment is made in the early stages of planning your build, as the bushfire requirements may impact on the design and construction elements.

 

It is also beneficial to seek advice before purchasing land or an existing home, as bushfire construction requirements may affect any future building work, including proposed renovations, additions, sheds, or garages.
