Euca Planning assists in processing site assessments and reports and providing a Bushfire Management Statement (BMS) for those looking to develop land or buildings in areas covered by the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) and/or classified as a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA).

The BMS is a BMO requirement that needs to be submitted to the council to support your planning application. It is designed to encompass bushfire protection on the onset of the planning process.

  • You need a BMO report if you are:

  • Building a single dwelling

  • Extending an existing dwelling

  • Building a shed, carport or deck

  • Planning a multi-dwelling development

  • Subdividing a BPA

Euca Planning will:

  • Conduct a detailed assessment of the site, including the surrounding landscape, in compliance with AS3959-2018 (Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas) and Clause 44.06 (Bushfire Management Overlay)

  • Conduct a bushfire hazard landscape assessment, provide analysis of possible bushfire scenarios and recommend appropriate responses and actions in compliance with the relevant planning provisions (if required by the planning zone)

  • Provide analysis of the development proposal and GIS mapping

  • Determine the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) with corresponding report

  • For complex sites or developments, prepare a Bushfire Development Report that details various development options and how each one meets the BMO’s objectives

  • Prepare the official BMS for submission to the council as requirement for the planning permit

  • Act as liaison with authorities like the CFA

You will receive:

  • Bushfire hazard landscape assessment with mapping

  • Bushfire hazard site assessment with mapping

  • Bushfire Attack Level Rating

  • Bushfire Management Statement (BMS)

  • Processing time: Within 14 working days
