    - Any proposals involving schools, hospitals, bed and breakfast accommodation, eco-tourism, housing for older people, retirement villages, childcare centres, music festivals are considered particularly vulnerable during bushfires and are therefore required to meet some specific requirements. In particular, an emergency/evacuation plan is considered an important component of the strategy to plan for any bushfire risk. The consent authority is the local council but only after the RFS has issued a BUSHFIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY.

We just recently submitted at DA into Wollongong Council and it returned with a bush fire rating of FZ. We engaged Kate to carry out a comprehensive bush fire assessment of our property and re-submitted report as a modification into council. Kate's knowledge and experience were able to demonstrate that our fire rating should be down graded to Bal 40. Thanks to Kate and the team at Harris environmental our building works can now commence.
