What type of Bushfire Report do I need?

The most common bushfire report is the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment, but depending on the nature of your development, it may not be the only one required. Understanding what level of bushfire report is needed is essential to avoid delays, unexpected costs, or non-compliance with planning and building requirements.

We recommend clarifying early:

• What bushfire reports your project needs

• Associated costs and timeframes

• Any likely compliance issues

• Council expectations and submission requirements

It can be frustrating to submit your application, only to find out something is missing—or worse, that the proposal can’t meet bushfire regulations.

That’s where Bushfire Smart can help. We assess your project at the outset and provide clear advice on the required documentation, including BAL Assessments, Bushfire Management Plans (BMPs), and Bushfire Emergency Plans (BEPs). Our goal is to help keep your project on track and compliant from the start.
