Bushfire construction advice
Victoria is one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world.
After the devastating Black Saturday event on 7th of February 2009 new legislation was passed by parliament in Victoria regarding construction within bushfire prone areas.
The new legislation included the development of bushfire prone maps for designated areas across Victoria designating if your property is located in a bushfire prone area.
To see if your property is located within a bush fore prone area please visit http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/bushfire.jsp.
If your property is located within a bushfire prone area C & M Building Surveyors can provide you with the necessary independent advice in relation to the Planning and Building Legislation processes to ensure that the construction requirements are integrated in the final design.
