6 SCHEME AMENDMENT REPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION Scheme Amendment No. 92 to the City of Cockburn Town Planning Scheme No. 3 ( the Scheme ) proposes additions of a number of provisions related to the Bushfire Protection and Management. The intent of these changes is to: 1. identify land that is subject, or likely to be subject, to bushfire hazard; 2. ensure a bushfire attack level assessment is carried out on land that is subject, or likely to be subject, to bush fire hazard; and 3. ensure that development effectively addresses the level of bushfire hazard applying to the land. The Amendment will include the introduction of a Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map, a map that will sit outside the Scheme and indicate the level of hazard land located within the Rural Zone, Rural Living Zone, Resource Zone and Conservation Zone face from bushfire threats. 2.0 BACKGROUND Australia and Western Australia specifically is a land mass prone to incidences of bushfire. In recent times a number of fire events have come under scrutiny from various State Governments to ascertain the cause, appropriateness of response and need for change, inter alia. The need for the City of Cockburn to identify Bushfire Prone Areas and take reasonable and appropriate responses to the habitat its residences lives is in direct response to these reports. The reports that primarily direct Amendment 92 are, The Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission (The Royal Commission). A Shared Responsibility: The Report of the Perth Hills Bushfire February 2011 Review (The Keelty Report). The Major Incident Review Lake Clifton, Red Hill and Roleystone Fires June 2011 (The MIR). The recent inquiry into the November 2011 Margaret River Bushfire, also undertaken by Mick Keelty, has no bearing or relevance to Amendment Declaration of Bushfire Prone Areas In Western Australia, unlike other states, the declaration of bushfire prone is currently at the discretion of Local Government. Local Government can indicate a Bushfire Prone Area by a number of mechanisms, these include: 1. within a Town Planning Scheme; and 2. by powers conferred by the Local Government Act 2005; Only two Local Governments in Western Australia have used legislative powers available to them to designate Bushfire Prone Areas. While a number of Local

7 Governments have included Bushfire Prone Areas within their Town Planning Schemes. Under Australian Standard : Construction of buildings in the bushfireprone areas (As ) the Building Code of Australia (BCA) requires that Local Governments ensure new dwellings (and other forms of accommodation, as well as additions to existing buildings in some instances) in designated Bushfire Prone Areas be constructed to the above standard. The Royal Commission found that: where people live, the standard of the buildings in which they live, how those standards are maintained and, therefore, building and planning controls are crucial factors affecting safety in a bushfire. 2.2 Criticism of Local Government The Keelty Report and the MIR offered a number of scathing reviews of the role of Local Government. This report deals with only the criticisms surrounding the designation of Bushfire prone areas into the broader planning framework of a locality. While the Bush Fires Act 1954 outlines obligations with respect to fire and the powers that may be exercised Local Government. No such legislative framework exists for the establishment of Bushfire Prone Areas into the Local Governments wider planning framework. In the view of the MIR on the Red Hill fire, the MIR stated that there is no doubt that the Darling Escarpment is a bushfire prone area and labelled the Local Government irresponsible for not declaring the area so. The MIR went on to state that, failing to declare these areas bushfire prone inhibits the effectiveness of FESA s operational response Within both the MIR and the Keelty Report it is noted that Local Governments are hesitant to designate an area Bushfire Prone due to potential for increased liabilities, lowering property prices, insurance issues and potential developers viewing the imposition of additional construction standards as a disincentive to invest in their area as reasons for not exercising this power. Both the Keelty Report and the MIR state this stance is unacceptable. The City of Cockburn in response to these allegations began a process that has culminated in Amendment Bush Fire Cost Comparison By designating an area bush fire prone it places an additional upfront financial encumbrance on the owners of that land in that they need to comply with As Amendment 92 proposes to require planning approval for the erection of a single house, including any extension, ancillary outbuildings and swimming pools where the lot is identified as Bushfire Prone on a Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map. A requirement of said approval will be for the application to be built to

8 AS , with the provision for additional bush fire related conditions as outlined in clause of the draft Amendment. FESA in their submission to Keelty Report produced the following table derived from the Australian Building Codes Board publication the Final Regulatory Impact Statement for Decision (RIS ). Table: Cost of Compliance with AS Category of bush fire attack Predicated bush fire attack and level of exposure. BAL Low Insufficient risk to warrant specific construction requirements. BAL 12.5 BAL 19 BAL 29 BAL 40 BAL FZ Base house Large two story $0 $0 $0 Elevated light weight construction Ember attack. $11,535 $14,981 $21,428 Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by windborne embers together increasing heat flux. Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by windborne embers together increasing heat flux. Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by windborne embers together increasing heat flux with the increased likelihood of exposure to flames. Direct exposure to flames from fire front in addition to heat flux and ember attack. $11,535 $14,981 $21,428 $15,471 $17,095 $35,024 $17,107 $19,751 $62,357 $20,885 $28,905 $76,679 Alternatively to the table above, The Shire of Busselton in Council Agenda dated 11/05/2011 on a matter concerning the identification of Bushfire prone areas provided the following information that estimated the costs (above standard constructing standards) of compliance with AS BAL % BAL % BAL % BAL % BAL FZ 8-10% An application for Planning Approval on land subject to Amendment 92 would be required to provide a bush fire attack level assessment carried out in accordance with the methodology contained in the Planning for Bush Fire Protection Guidelines (2010); and a statement or report that demonstrates that all relevant bush fire protection acceptable solutions, or alternatively all relevant performance

9 criteria, contained in the Planning for Bush Fire Protection Guidelines (2010) have been considered and complied with, and effectively address the level of bush fire hazard applying to the land. It would be anticipated that due to the prevailing geology, topography and built form of the City of Cockburn and specifically the areas subject to Amendment 92; the majority of dwelling subject to increased AS standards would fall within the base house and large two story categories. The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), a commonwealth statutory body and the national research and knowledge centre on crime and justice, conducted detailed analysis of the cost of bushfires to the Australian economy over the period 1967 to THE AIC found that when looking at only 'disaster-level' bushfires (where the total insurance costs were greater than $10 million); between 1967 and 1999 Australia was affected by 23 such fires. The total cost of these bushfires is estimated to have been more than $2.5 billion, a figure that does not necessarily include forestry losses. The AIC go on to explain that the above statistics do not include the thousands of smaller bush fires that occur every year, they explain that, A bushfire that does not cause property damage can still be costly. Fire-fighting costs, environmental impacts, loss of wildlife, disruptions to economic and social activities and the effects of smoke on urban environments are just some costs not revealed by insurance payouts. It should also be noted that between 1967 and 1999 bush in Australia resulted in 223 deaths and 4,185 injuries; some 48% of the total deaths and injuries resulting from natural disasters over the same period. The disincentives of imposing higher building costs thorough bush fire designation; such as lowering property prices, insurance issues and potential developers viewing the imposition of additional construction standards as a disincentive to invest must be carefully weighed against the wider responsibility of Local Government. Local Government through building and planning controls can have a significant impact on the survivability of individuals during a fire event. 3.0 STRATEGIC AND STATUTORY CONTEXT Local Government Act 2005 The Local Government Act 2005 provides Local Government with a number of powers and responsibilities concerning bushfire management. Under the Local Government Act 1995 local governments may declare all or parts of their local government area to be a bushfire prone area. This has traditionally not been done by Local Government, with only two utilising this power. The Act also provides for specific bushfire management and fire suppression responsibilities as well as requiring local government to be responsible for the proper management of all local government property. This Amendment outlines the alternative approach to designation of bush fire prone areas, through mechanisms in the Town Planning Scheme.

10 Bush Fires Act 1954 The Bush Fires Act 1954 outlines obligations with respect to fire and the powers that may be exercised by local government and other public authorities. It provides for the declaration of total fire bans and prohibited burning times and gives local government responsibility for establishing minimum standards of fire prevention for all other non-government lands. The Act also empowers local governments to establish and maintain bushfire brigades. Authority for fighting bushfires in WA is dispersed across 124 authorities: 122 Local Governments, FESA and DEC. This arrangement is an historical one, being in place for many years. All other Australian jurisdictions have removed the coordination and control of operational response to bushfires from Local Government. In 2004, the an Auditor General report into how the State responds to bushfires was critical of this arrangement and this lead to changes to the Bush Fires Act 1954 and the Emergency Management Regulations Further to this, Local government also has responsibility for the management of fuel loads on all freehold land that is owns, as well as all Crown land vested in it under the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA), which includes local government parks and road reserves. Following the declaration of an area as bushfire prone the powers conferred on Local Government by the Bushfires Act 1954 will carry increased significance in those areas. It should be noted that FESA is currently progressing work to repeal the Bush Fires Act 1954, the Fire Brigades Act 1942 and the Fire and Emergency Services Authority Act 1998 and to create one comprehensive Emergency Services Act. State Planning Policy 3.4 Natural Disasters State Planning Policy 3.4 Natural Disasters is an endorsed State Planning Policy set out in Part 3 of the Planning and Development Act Local Government s when making or amending Local Planning Schemes; or when making decisions on planning matters, must have due regard for State Planning Policies. The primary objectives of State Planning Policy 3.4 are to, Include planning for natural disasters as a fundamental element in the preparation of all statutory and non-statutory planning documents, specifically town planning schemes and amendments, and local planning strategies; and Through the use of these planning instruments, to minimise the adverse impacts of natural disasters on communities, the economy and the environment To this end Local Government must have due regard to the natural elements that may combine to create hazards. Moreover, other elements such as the built environment should be considered when defining natural hazard management areas in planning strategies and schemes

11 State Planning Policy 3.4 authorised the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) to create detailed guidelines on the individual hazards identified in this policy these should be taken into account in the determination of proposals. The Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines (2010), to be discussed later in this report, fulfil this role. Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines (2010) The Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines (2010) The Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines is a collaborative document created by the Department of Planning and FESA as an interim document designed to replace the previous Planning for Bush Fire Protection (2001) and Development Control Policy 3.7 Fire Planning. It is anticipated that a final version of the guidelines will be prepared shortly. The interim guidelines have been prepared in accordance with State Planning Policy 3.4 Natural Hazards and Disasters. The guidelines set out a range of matters that need to be addressed at various stages of the planning process, to provide an appropriate level of protection to life and property from bush fires and avoid inappropriately located or designed land use, subdivision and development on land where a bush fire risk is identified. 4.0 PROPOSAL Scheme Amendment No. 92 proposes to add provisions related to bushfire management and identification to Town Planning Scheme No. 3, and these additions are outlined in detail below. Special Control Area Amendment 92 proposes to create an additional Special Control Area of the Scheme named Bushfire Prone Areas; this Area specifically applies to the entirety Rural Zone, Rural Living Zone, Resource Zone and Conservation Zones of the Scheme. The Amendment will allow within the above zones the designation and identification of a bushfire prone area. This Special Control Area would be clause 6.6 of the Scheme. The purpose of a Bushfire Prone Areas is to: (a) (b) (c) (d) to implement State Planning Policy 3.4 Natural Hazards and Disasters; to identify land that is subject, or likely to be subject, to bushfire hazard; to ensure a bushfire attack level assessment is carried out on land that is subject, or likely to be subject, to bush fire hazard; and to ensure that development effectively addresses the level of bushfire hazard applying to the land. Amendment 92 will allow for the creation of a Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map, this map and clause states that only a Bushfire Prone Assessment Maps shall indicate Bushfire Prone Areas. The Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map will sit outside the Scheme and be separately approved by Council as required. The

12 process for approval and modification of a Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map is set out in clause 6.6, also. As stated above, the Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map will sit outside the Scheme, though be directly referenced by the Scheme. By placing the Hazard Assessment Map outside the Scheme is in response to the need for flexibility in the process of identification and the changing nature of the urban/rural environment of the City of Cockburn. By placing the Map outside the Scheme it allows Council to adapt the map as situations require and new information comes to hand. Bushfire Prone Areas, as a norm will be subject to be constructed to the standards set out in the Australian Standard : Construction of buildings in the bushfire-prone areas (As ). Properties in fire prone areas will also require a Fire Management Plan inter alia, as identified in proposed clause of the Scheme, as a condition of planning approval. As per proposed clause of the Scheme the Local Government may impose conditions on any planning approval as to: (a) the provision of a fire fighting water supply. (b) the provision of fire services access. (c) the preparation of a fire management plan in accordance with the Planning for Bush Fire Protection Guidelines (Latest Edition) and implementation of specific fire protection measures set out in the plan. (d) the implementation of measures to ensure that prospective purchasers are aware of the relevant scheme provisions, fire management plan and publications addressing fire safety. How Amendment 92 affects the need for properties in Bushfire Prone Areas to apply for Planning Approval will be discussed later in this report. Proposed development within the Amendment 92 Special Control Area that have previously undergone a fire assessment, compliant with the WAPC s and FESA s Planning for Bush Fire Protection Guidelines (Latest Edition), at either the Subdivision or Structure Planning stage will not be required to undergo additional fire assessment subject to the development complying with the previous assessment for that area. Identification of Bushfire Prone Land For the purpose of the Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map the following protocol is utilised when identifying an area of bushfire prone land. Inclusion of identified native vegetation of 1 Ha or greater (by aerial photograph). Identification of native vegetation less than 1 Ha in size but within 50m of identified native vegetation (>1 Ha). Buffering of all the above by 100m (shown in different colour from main hazard area).

13 For the purpose of registering an accurate assessment of bushfire risk; the identification of bushfire prone areas includes land meeting the first two criteria but not within area covered by Bushfire Hazard Assessment Map, including areas of native vegetation within neighbouring Local Government Areas. Requirements for Planning Approval Clause 8.2 of the Scheme sets out the types of development that is exempt from planning approval, referred to as Permitted Development. Amendment 92 proposes changes to clause 8.2(b) that deals with the erection of a single house on a lot, including any extension, ancillary outbuilding and swimming pools. This scheme Amendment introduces an additional exception to clause 8.2(b) where, (v) the development is included in a Bushfire Prone Area, as defined by clause of the Scheme. Historically within the areas subject to Amendment 92 planning approval has not been required for the development of a single house within a designated building envelope (should one exist). Planning approval has been required for development outside and/or relocation of building envelopes. Amendment 92 proposes a major shift in the approval process of residential development in these areas. For the purpose and intent of Amendment 92 to be fulfilled it is deemed necessary to alter the status quo in these areas. The Development Approval process is the appropriate stage of the development assessment process to ensure that the requirements outlined in proposed clause 6.6 are adhered to. It would be envisioned that the requirement for landowners to apply for development approval in these areas will place an additional financial and time constraint on those individuals. However, as both the Keelty Report and the MIR identified, these hesitations have existed and continue to exist within Local Government, and that not exercising these power for the reasons outlined earlier in this document is unacceptable. The disincentives of imposing higher building costs thorough bush fire designation must be carefully weighed against the wider responsibility of Local Government. Local Government through building and planning controls can have a significant impact on the survivability of individuals during a fire event. 5.0 CONCLUSION It is considered that the proposed Scheme Amendment will provide better bushfire safety and prevention within the City of Cockburn. It will designate bushfire prone zones, showing where higher building standards and fire management plans are needed.
