1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Bushfire Management Plan is to detail the fire management methods and requirements that will
be implemented for Lot 2 Pipidinny Road North Eglinton Estate, refer Figure 1.
This area is predominantly Shrubland vegetation with a Bush Forever site along the northern boundary. The
development will consist of urban residential housing, neighbourhood centre, Primary School site, high School site,
community garden and sporting ovals and public open space areas. The area except for some areas of Public Open
Space (POS) will be cleared. Refer to Figure 2.
This fire management plan complies with the acceptable solutions detailed in Appendix 2 of Planning for Bush Fire
Protection and are summarised in Compliance Checklist for Performance Criteria and Acceptable Solutions at the end
of this fire management plan Section 8.
This Fire Management Plan will likewise outline the responsibility and timing for implementing and maintaining the
fire protection measures and strategies contained within, allocating these responsibilities between individual land
owners, the developers and the City of Wanneroo.
As fire management strategies may require altering to meet changing weather, environment and land use needs, it
must be advised that the provisions of the Bush Fires Act 1954 will still be enforced, in addition to this Fire
Management Plan.
The City of Wanneroo will be responsible for initiating a review of this fire management plan as it may seem
necessary to do so.
In the event of large bushfires it is essential that landowners understand that fire appliances may not be available to
protect each dwelling.
The City of Wanneroo requires the preparation of a ‘Fire Management Plan’ for the proposed development to support
the Concept Local Structure Plan. This document has been prepared to satisfy that requirement and may be amended
as part of the Planning process.
This Fire Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with Acceptable Solutions detailed in Planning for Bush
Fire Protection Edition 2 (2010). There has been consultation between the FirePlan WA and the City of Wanneroo
Fire Officer in the preparation of this Fire Management Plan.
The original Fire Management Plan dated November 2013 has been revised to take into account the changes to layout
to Stages 3-9 which are included in this Fire Management Plan.

2.0 AIM
The aim of the Bushfire Management Plan is to reduce the occurrence of and minimise the impact of bush fires
thereby reducing the threat to life, property and the environment.
The Fire Management Plan sets out to reduce this threat by:
Identifying the objectives of this Fire Management Plan (Section 3)
Describing the site’s description, topography, cultural features and land use (Section 4);
Identifying the site’s potential bush fire issues (Section 5); and
Outlining the fire mitigation strategies for the site, including identifying the parties responsible for
undertaking these fire mitigation strategies (Section 6).
The City of Wanneroo has the responsibility and powers under the Bush Fires Act 1954 to ensure that this Fire
Management Plan, City of Wanneroo Firebreak Notice and any Special orders issued under the Bush Fires Act 1954
are complied with.
3.0 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this Fire Management Plan are to:-
Identify bushfire hazards and propose bush fire prevention measures for the site and the interface to the Bush
Forever site adjoining the site to the north in accordance with Planning for Bush Fire Protection Guidelines-
Edition 2 2010;
Define the building construction standards where lots interface with vegetation within the site- Public Open
Space areas and the adjoining Bush Forever site;
Identify access for firefighting operations and daily maintenance;
Identify current and future landowner, developer and City of Wanneroo responsibilities for various
components of this fire management plan; and
Document in the Appendices section of this Fire Management Plan, the acceptable solutions adopted for the
development of Lot 2 Pipidinny Road North Eglinton.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
4.1 GENERAL
This Fire Management Plan applies to Lot 2 Pipidinny Road North Eglinton Estate which is to be subdivided into
urban lots.
Pipidinny Road is located along the southern boundary, Marmion Avenue forms the Western boundary, the future
Mitchell Freeway Extension is located on the eastern boundary and bush forever site is located on the northern
boundary. It is proposed to set aside land for the extension of the Perth-Joondalup Rail Line which divides the side
approximately in half. The area to the south of Pipidinny Road is proposed to be developed into urban residential
housing in the future.
The vegetation of the area consists of Open Shrub Class D and Closed Heath Class C to Open Shrub. There is one
pocket of Tuart Woodland located in the central eastern area and is proposed to be contained in an area Public Open
Space. (GHD vegetation survey Feb 2011)
The purpose of this Fire Management Plan is to detail the fire mitigation strategies for the urban interface with the
Bush Forever land and Public Open Space areas.
4.2 CLIMATE
The Mediterranean climate experienced by this area is such that the majority of rain falls in late autumn through to
late spring. This rainfall supports substantial vegetation growth which dries off in Summer/Autumn.
The combination of prevailing winds and dry vegetation poses a fire risk and bush fire control is considered essential
for the protection of life and property, and to ensure that uncontrolled burning does not degrade existing and
replanted vegetation.
The bush fire season is generally from October to the following May, but is subject to seasonal changes and drought
conditions.
4.3 TOPOGRAPHY
The site consists of old sand dune that in some areas area relatively steep around 10° but the area is generally
undulating with majority of the area being 0°-5° with some areas of 5°-10° and small areas of 10°-15° . See Figure 3

FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 11
4.4 BUSH FIRE FUELS
The Vegetation Types map (Figure 4) has been prepared for the site. In the draft Vegetation Guide for Bushfire
Assessment in WA (September 2015) Banksia Woodland is now rated as Class D Scrub. “Banksia Woodland requires
particular consideration. The physical structure of Banksia Woodland, fire development and wind driven fire
behaviour is consistent with Class D Scrub and should be modelled as such”.
On the 4th
October 2015 a review of the vegetation classification was carried out along the northern boundary of the
Stages 3-9 and vegetation classification was carried out in accordance with the draft Vegetation Guide for Bushfire
Assessment in WA the results are as follows.
The vegetation to the North (in the Bush Forever site is Open Scrub (2-4 metres) Class D. There is some vegetation
adjoining the northern boundary in the Bush Forever Site that is identified in the flora survey as Banksia Woodland
which in the new Draft Vegetation Guide (WA) September 2015 is classified as Scrub Class D. The vegetation is
upslope from the proposed dwellings.
The Open Shrub (Class D) has bush fire fuels of approximately 25 tonnes/ha. (Table B2 AS 3959-2009).
4.5 LAND USE
The site is to be developed into Urban Residential lots School sites, neighbourhood centre and public open space/
drainage areas which restricts further development/subdivision of any of the site. If lots are further subdivided in the
future a separate Fire Management Plan is required for that subdivision.
4.6 ASSETS
Lot 2 Pipidinny Road is currently vegetated as is the adjoining areas with Pipidinny Road located on the southern
boundary of the site, Marmion Avenue on the western boundary and a Bush Forever site along the northern boundary.
The current assets are the vegetation with the Bush Forever site and proposed Public Open space areas, Pipidinny
Road, Marmion Avenue, adjoining bush lands, Power line along Pipidinny Rd. other infrastructure on Marmion
Avenue associated with traffic control (e.g. street lighting, roundabouts etc.)
The area to the south of Pipidinny Road is also to be developed into urban residential in the future which will remove
vegetation south of Pipidinny Rd.
4.7 ACCESS
The proposed road system has several entrances off Pipidinny Road and Marmion Avenue. See Figure 2.
Each stage of land release will have two (2) access/egress roads installed.
There is a 20 metre road proposed to separate the proposed dwellings and the Bush Forever site from the proposed
rail reserve to the eastern boundary of the site and the remainder of the interface will have a 20 metre road reserve
other than where POS adjoins Bush Forever.
Land for the extension of Mitchell Freeway north has been set aside along the eastern boundary of the site. However
planning for access onto the freeway is not currently publically available.

4.8 WATER SUPPLIES
4.8.1 Domestic Water Supplies.
Water supplies for domestic use will be supplied from the Water Corporation mains water supply.
4.8.2 Water for Fire Fighting
Fire Hydrants will be installed by the developer along roads in accordance with the “Water Corporation No 63 Water
Reticulation Standard” including fire hydrant road and pole markings.
5.0 BUSH FIRE ASSESSMENT
5.1 BUSH FIRE HISTORY
The site has been subject to infrequent wildfires, no documented fire history was available. However the following
comment was noted in the Landcorp Eglinton Spring Flora and Significant Tree Survey (GHD February 2011) “A
large proportion of the Study area east of Marmion Avenue has been highly disturbed by recent fires and by the
grazing of stock over time”.
5.2 BUSH FIRE RISK
The site currently has a firebreak around the boundary of the site that complies with the City of Wanneroo Firebreak
Notice. There are some firebreaks in adjoining areas but may not be of a sufficient standard to use as a boundary to
contain a bush fire. However with the design of this development and the clearing of vegetation for the urban
development the risk to the development will be greatly reduced other than the possibility of bush fires threatening
the outer edges of the development especially as along the northern boundary which remain as Bush Forever.
The extension of the Mitchel Freeway will be located on the eastern boundary, south of Pipidinny Rd will be
developed as urban residential and part of the area to the west of Marmion Avenue may also be developed as urban
residential.
The risk to dwellings located within 100 metres of external and internal vegetation will be lessened by installing an
appropriate setback between the Lot boundaries and vegetation appropriate to BAL ratings determined from Table
2.4.3 of AS 3959-2009.
If bush fires occur in the adjoining areas, Bush Forever Site or Public Open Space area, dwellings and buildings may
come under ember attack.
With smoke from the fires it may cause disruption to traffic on major local roads of Pipidinny Road and Marmion
Avenue and local roads within the development and on the future Freeway and future train services on the extension
of the Perth-Joondalup line.
5.3 BUSH FIRE HAZARD
In Planning for Bush Fire Protection Appendix 1 methodology for classifying bush fire levels is detailed. The
methodology rates bush fire hazard using vegetation type. The methodology is also based on the underlying
assumption that land in Western Australia is predominantly undulating. The methodology specifies three bush fire
hazard levels “Low”, “Moderate” and “Extreme”.
This methodology has been used in this Fire Management Plan.
The assessment of fire risk takes into account existing site conditions which include:
Fire Management Plan Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton November 2013 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 15
Topography with particular reference to ground slopes and accessibility;
Vegetation cover – both remnant and likely revegetation; and
Relationship to surrounding development.
The Bush Fire Hazard Assessment is “Moderate” in retained vegetation areas Class D – Open Shrub.
The adjoining areas are also rated as “Moderate” with an area rated “Extreme” to the east of the proposed Freeway
Reserve
Due to the vegetation being classified as “Extreme” or “Moderate” the area is a Bush Fire Prone Area and as such
AS 3959-2009 applies to new residential areas.
Vegetation within the urban residential area will be cleared.
5.4 BUSH FIRE THREAT
The area within the development site other than areas within Public Open space will be cleared so the fire hazard will
be reduced to “Low” other than the vegetated areas of POS. The areas outside the development site will remain as or
“Moderate” until they are cleared for the Freeway Extension or developed for urban development.
The Bush Forever site, adjoining vegetation outside the site and vegetated Public Open Space within the development
are an ongoing threat to the development however setbacks complying with Planning for Bush Fire Protection and
AS 3959-2009 BAL rating will apply.
Bush fires that occur during the construction phase of the site and until houses are constructed on all lots there will be
a possible threat to the development. Best practice suggests the Bush Forever site should have a fire management
plan developed for the site by the landowner/managing authority to lessen the potential threat to residents on roads,
freeway and trains as smoke may affect these transport systems. Within the bush forever access for fire appliances is
also recommended to be brought up to the standard detailed in Planning for Bush Fire Protection as the levels
between the dwellings within the development may be different to the levels within the Bush Forever site making fire
suppression difficult from perimeter roads.
Smoke from bush fires outside the development area may cause visibility problems and exacerbate respiratory
medical conditions of residents.

5.5 SUMMARY OF BUSH FIRE POTENTIAL ISSUES
Bush fire issues that have been identified for this site and adjoining land are:-
The site is vegetated with Shrub - Class D with a bush fire rating as “Moderate”.
The site is a Bush Fire Prone Area.
Lack of access within adjoining areas restricts fire fighting strategies to existing major roads.
Bush Forever site to the north is poorly managed. The Developer has no responsibility for this land as it
has been handed over to the State Government as a Bush Forever site. The Development of this Site is
not reliant on any fire management strategies being implemented in the adjoining Bush Forever Site.
Bush fires in the adjoining vegetated areas may cause visibility problems to transport systems,
exacerbate respiratory medical conditions and ember attack on dwellings within 100 metres of
vegetation.
6.0 FIRE MITIGATION
6.1 HAZARD MANAGEMENT
This section outlines the actions and works that are to be undertaken in order to be successfully implement the fire
protection strategies of this Fire Management Plan as it applies to the Eglinton North Estate.
An external road system will separate the Lots from vegetation other than where the POS adjoins the Bush
Forever site and along the eastern boundary. See Figure 2.
Along the eastern boundary lots (R10 size–Figure 2) will be sufficiently large to have the required BAL rating
setback to modified vegetation zone installed at the rear of the dwelling to comply with AS 3959-2009 BAL
construction standards. Also a 32 metre power line easement is located between the dwellings and the
proposed Freeway Reserve.
All vegetated POS area will be managed so that bush fire fuels in vegetated areas greater than 1 ha will have
bush fire fuels managed below 8tonnes/ha. This will initially be the responsibility of the Developer but in the
long term will become the responsibility of the City of Wanneroo when the POS areas are vested with them.
All road reserves adjoining POS vegetation and the Bush Forever site are to be managed to the Building
Protection Zone standard detailed in Section 7.3.
The Developer is to modify then manage road reserves that act as a setback between a dwelling and
vegetation (Vegetated POS and Bush Forever site) to the Building Protection Zone Standard until the
management of the road reserve is handed over to the City of Wanneroo.
During staged land releases the Developer will maintain a 100 metre area around the stage to be released to
the building protection Zone standard to avoid unnecessary increase in dwelling construction standards to as
3959-2009 BAL ratings.

FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 18
6.2 BUSH FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT
6.2.1 Total Fire Ban Days
A Total Fire Ban is declared because of the extreme weather conditions or when fires are seriously stretching fire
fighting resources. A Total Fire Ban is declared by DFES following consultation with Local Governments.
When a Total Fire Ban is declared it prohibits the lighting of any fires in the open air and any activities that might
start a fire. The ban includes all open fires for the purpose of cooking or camping. It also includes the use of
incinerators, welding, grinding, soldering and gas cutting equipment.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services and the City of Wanneroo are to continue to educate the public on
what a Total Fire Ban means and what actions the public need to take.
6.2.2 Public Education Program
The City of Wanneroo is to continue to provide the community with advice on bush fire prevention and preparedness
through brochures, newspaper articles and compliance with any Fire Control Notice and/or Hazard Reduction Notice
issued to any owner or occupier under the Bush Fires Act and has relevant information set out on their web site.
The subdivider is to provide a copy of the current City of Wanneroo Fire Control Notice, The Homeowners Survival
Manual and Prepare Act Survive brochure and this Bushfire Management Plan at the time of sale of a Lot to all new
landowners whose Lot has an increased Construction standard in accordance with AS 3959. It is essential that the
Real Estate agent handling the sale of lots on behalf of the subdivider advises potential landowners that a Bushfire
Management Plan exists and that the modification of vegetation and on going fuel reduction will be required within
this development.
Other Public Safety and Community information on Bush Fires is available on the Department of Fire and
Emergency Services web site www.dfes.wa.gov.au and the City of Wanneroo website www.wanneroo.wa.gov.au
6.3 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
This Fire Management Subdivision Plan has been prepared on the basis of the North Eglinton Local Structure Plan
being developed in accordance with the layout detailed in Figure 2. Any future development that is contrary or on
addition to this subdivision plan will require approval from the City of Wanneroo and may result in the need to
review the provisions of this Fire Management Plan or the preparation of a new Fire Management Plan.
6.4 ACCESS AND FIREBREAKS
6.4.1 Road System
The road system will have multiple links to Marmion Avenue and Pipidinny Road. In most areas an internal road will
separate areas of Public Open Space from urban development.
All road access will be designed and constructed to Council specifications and will comply with Acceptable solutions
A2.1, A2.2 of the Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines (2010).
Fire Management Plan Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton November 2013 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 19
6.4.2 Internal Firebreaks
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Fire Management Plan, all lots within the site must comply with the
requirements of the City of Wanneroo Firebreak Notice, as published annually.
6.4.3 Private Driveways
Private driveways into residential homes must comply with the City of Wanneroo specifications and comply with
acceptable solution A2.5.
6.5 FIRE SAFER AREAS
In the event of a bush fire, the Incident Controller of Fire Fighting Operations will advise if an evacuation is
necessary and, in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo Emergency Services, direct residents to Safer Refuge Areas.
6.6 ASSESSMENT OF FIRE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
The implementation of this Fire Management Plan will be implemented at each stage of land release.
It will be the responsibility of the developer to implement the provisions of this Fire Management Plan in order to
seek clearance of those conditions of subdivision.
Likewise it is the responsibility of the City of Wanneroo to ensure that all standards required in this Fire Management
Plan are met by the developer prior to clearing any conditions of subdivision relating to this Fire Management Plan.
After any major fires that may occur during or once this development has been completed, the City of Wanneroo may
conduct a Post Incident Analysis of the fire, which may include identifying and implementing any changes that may
be needed to improve the performance of fire prevention strategies.
With the hazard management provisions detailed in this Fire Management Plan any fires that occur in the site are not
expected to devastate the community if the provisions of this Fire Management Plan are implemented by the
Developer and maintained by landowners within their Lot and by the City of Wanneroo in Public Open Space and
relevant road reserve adjoin the Bush Forever site..
In the Foreword of AS 3959- 2009 it states that “It should be borne in mind that the measures contained in this
standard cannot guarantee that a building will survive a bushfire event on every occasion. This is substantially due to
the degree of vegetation management, the unpredictable nature and behavior of fire and extreme weather conditions.”
This Fire Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the acceptable solutions detailed in Planning for
Bush Fire Protection Edition 2 (2010).

7.0 APPENDICES
7.1 WORKS PROGRAM
The works program required in this Fire Management Plan must be implemented by the developer at each stage of
land release.
Landowners will be responsible for the annual compliance with City of Wanneroo Firebreak Control Notice.
Once Public Open Space areas are handed over to the City of Wanneroo, the Council will be responsible for the
annual maintenance setback distance between the Lot and retained vegetation to maintain BAL ratings on adjoin
dwellings.
7.2 GUIDELINES SPECIFICATIONS AND MINIMUM STANDARDS
The following section outlines the required specifications and minimum development standards that are required
under this Fire Management Plan.
7.2.1 Building Protection Zone
The aim of the Building Protection Zones (BPZ) is to reduce bush fire intensity close to dwellings, and to minimise
the likelihood of flame contact with buildings.
The Building Protection Zone is a low fuel area immediately surrounding a building complying with Planning for
Bush Fire Protection Acceptable Solution A4.3.
The following Building Protection Zone is to apply to the interface area between the Bush Forever site and Public
Open Space and nearby residential dwellings and along the eastern boundary and must fulfil the following conditions:
Bush fire fuels must be maintained at or below 2 tonnes per hectare and dry grass must be maintained
below a height of 50mm;
The spacing of trees are to be planted to provide for a separation of 10 metres between crowns when trees
mature;
Trees are to be progressively low pruned at least to a height of 2 metres;
Fire Management Plan Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton November 2013 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 23
There are no tree crowns over hanging a building;
Branches, must be removed at least 2 metres back from the eaves of all buildings;
Shrubs within the Building Protection Zone have no dead material within the plant;
Trees in the Building Protection Zone have no dead material within the plant’s crown or on the bole (tree
trunk);
Fences within the Building Protection Zone are to be constructed using non combustible materials (e.g.
colour bond iron, brick, limestone);
All leaves, twigs, logs, branches must be removed from within the building protection zone. Annual falls
of leaf litter must be raked up and removed or burnt.
7.2.3 Dwelling Construction
Individual dwellings on designated lots shall be designed and built to conform with:
The Building Code of Australia; and
AS 3959 Construction of Buildings in a Bushfire Prone Area;
The minimum distance of 100 metres (from vegetation rated ‘Moderate’ or ‘Extreme’) may be reduced is compliance
with AS 3959. Under AS 3959 as the distance from the vegetation is reduced, the construction standard must be
increased. Table 2.4.3 AS 3959 sets out this relationship and Section 2 of AS 3959 details the methodology of
determining the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL).
BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) Determination Using Methodology from Section 2.2.1 of current adopted AS 3959-
2009 and Table 2.4.3 which applies to Lots interfacing the Bush Forever site, Eastern boundary and Public Open
Space is:

All lots identified in this ‘Development’ (i.e. Lots within 100 metres of the Bush Forever site, Public Open Space and
reserve for the future Freeway extension) will be subject to a Section 70A notification being lodged on the Certificate
of Title, with future landowners required to construct any dwelling on these lots in accordance with the constructions
standards outlined in AS3959.
The BAL rating and setback distances below are indicative based on the existing slopes and will need to be re
assessed at the Land release stage when the levels of the site and interface will be more accurate. A map showing the
revised BAL levels and the Lots requiring increased construction standards will be provided to the City of Wanneroo
as part of the approval process a stage of land release. BAL assessments are to be carried out by a competent Fire
Consultant.

FMP 1592 Lot 2 Pipidinny Rd North Eglinton V5 22.08.14 FirePlan WA 24
Area Northern Boundary Railway Line Easement to Eastern boundary.
The Table above and Shrub Class D details the distance from the front of the Lot to the edge of the Bush Forever
where the slope is 5°-10° as minimum of 20 metres (which is made up of a 20 metre wide road reserve), the
construction standard of the first row of dwellings in BAL 29 and would be constructed to AS 3959-2009 BAL 29
Section 3 and 7. The minimum 20 Metres would be managed to the Building Protection Zone Standard.
Area along the Eastern boundary Power Line easement rear of Lot.
Table 1 above (Row 6) Class D Scrub details the distance from the rear of the dwelling to the minimum distance to
the rear of the Lot with a slope of 5°-10° (some areas are 0°-5°) as 35metre (power line easement is 32 metres) the
construction standard would be AS 3959-2009 BAL 19 Sections 3 & 6. The 35 metres would be installed by the
developer to be managed to the Building Protection Zone standard by the landowner.
Area along northern boundary west from Railway line easement and adjoin Public Open Space areas
Table 1 above (1st & 2
nd row) Class D scrub details the distance from the front of the Lot to the edge of vegetation
where the slope is upslope as 20 metres (which is the width of the road reserve or is a combination of road reserve
and the front setback within Lots) the construction standard of the first row of dwellings would be to AS 3959-2009
BAL 19 Sections 3 & 6. See Figure 8 for Indicative BAL Ratings.
All adjacent structures such as garages, carport and shed that are not attached to the dwelling must be separated from
the dwelling by a minimum of 6 metres otherwise the structure must comply with construction standard of the
dwelling.
Compliance with these construction standards will be assessed at the time of Building License Application by the
City of Wanneroo.
As a result of ember attack Evaporative Air conditioners can be the cause of a fire starting in a dwelling. It is a
requirement that the roof unit of an evaporative air conditioner is enclosed in a suitable external ember protection
screen. More information is available at www.fesa.wa.gov.au. and in AS 3959.
At the Building Permit Application stage a landowner may request a Fire Consultant to carry out a Bushfire Attack
Level Assessment to confirm the indicative BAL assessment provided by the Developer at the Stage of Land Release
or provide a new BAL rating that will apply to a particular Lot. A copy of the BAL report is to be sent to the City of
Wanneroo as part of the Building Permit Application.
