• Evaluate the historical bushfire data, fire weather conditions, topographical features, and vegetation types within Alpine Shire.
• Determine the level of bushfire risk across the Shire with a specific focus on urban areas and provide a summary of the findings.
• Recommend appropriate design considerations, planning strategies, and bushfire protection measures to enhance the resilience of the township and its interface with surrounding areas.
• Provide Bushfire Management Assessment for the growth areas identified in the draft LDS against Clause 13.02-1S and relevant CFA guidelines.
• Work with CFA in the development and review of growth areas, as well as broader bushfire risk across Alpine Shire.
