The State-wide Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) was produced for use by local governments to inform the preparation of planning schemes. The Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) identifies areas with the potential to support a significant bushfire or the potential to be subject to significant bushfire impacts. Additional Information: This product is the vector (unsmoothed) version of State-wide mapping of the Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in conjunction with QFES and PSBA. Methodology Summary: Potential intensity classes within the Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) are calculated by firstly combining information on Potential Fuel Load, Maximum Landscape Slope and Fire Weather Severity to calculate Potential Fire-line Intensity. Potential Fire-line Intensity is then divided into three potential bushfire intensity classes - Very High, High and Medium. Potential Impact Buffers are calculated to include all land within 100m from areas of medium, high or very high potential bushfire intensity. Further details about the methodology are provided in the CSIRO report (i.e. Leonard, J., Newnham, G., Opie, K., and Blanchi, R.. (2014) A new methodology for state-wide mapping of bushfire prone areas in Queensland. CSIRO, Australia.) included in this data pack. This dataset identifies the potential bushfire hazard areas throughout Logan to support Overlay Map of the Logan Planning Scheme 2015. |
