Introduction 1.1 Proposal details Eco Logical Australia (ELA) was commissioned by Acumen Development Solutions to prepare a Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) to support a Local Structure Plan being lodged over Multiple Lots Caporn Street, Wanneroo (hereafter referred to as the subject site; Figure 1; Figure 2). The entire subject site is within a designated bushfire prone area as per the Western Australia State Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas (DFES 2019; Figure 3), which triggers bushfire planning requirements under State Planning Policy 3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7; WAPC 2015) and reporting to accompany submission of the Structure Plan in accordance with the associated Guidelines for Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas v 1.3 (the Guidelines; WAPC 2017). This assessment has been prepared by ELA Bushfire Consultant James Leonard with quality assurance undertaken by ELA Senior Bushfire Consultant, Daniel Panickar (FPAA BPAD Level 3 Certified Practitioner No. BPAD37802-L3). 1.2 Purpose and application of the plan The primary purpose of this BMP is to act as a technical supporting document to inform planning assessment. This BMP is also designed to provide guidance on how to plan for and manage the bushfire risk to the subject site through implementation of a range of bushfire management measures in accordance with the Guidelines. 1.3 Environmental considerations Some bushfire prone areas also have high biodiversity values. SPP 3.7 policy objective 5.4 recognises the need to consider bushfire risk management measures alongside environmental, biodiversity and conservation values. Environmental approvals for the development are being obtained and impacts associated with bushfire protection measures have been considered through consultation with the project team. Some retention and revegetation is proposed within the subject site and this has been accounted for in the post development Bushfire Hazard Level assessments. A summary of the retention considerations is provided below and depicted in Figure 2: • Within the Public Open Space (POS) areas, it is noted that clearing/thinning of vegetation will be required for drainage, POS facilities etc. Areas to be retained are yet to be determined and will be finalised through the subsequent planning processes (e.g. Structure Plans and subdivision); and • It is not anticipated that any revegetation within POS areas will be undertaken. These considerations are addressed further in section 2 and any changes to revegetation and/or landscaping will be addressed in future BMPs. © ECO LOGICAL AUSTRALIA PTY LTD 1 Figure 1: Site Overview Joondalup (!
