Euca Planning provides site assessment to identify the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of your development. The BAL is the system that measures a dwelling’s level of potential exposure to direct flame, ember and radiant heat contact. The severity is measured in six levels as outlined in AS3959-2018, ranging from BAL-LOW to BAL-FZ. The higher the severity of the BAL determined for a dwelling, the more costly it is to build.

You need a BAL report if you are:

  • Building a single dwelling

  • Extending an existing dwelling

  • Building a shed, carport or deck

  • Planning a multi-dwelling development

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

  • Use Method 1 of AS3959-2018 to analyse bushfire risk to the proposed development

  • Use Method 2 of AS3959-2018 for complex developments

You will receive:

  • A BAL report

  • Options for lowering the BAL where appropriate

  • Processing time: Within 7 working days
