What Does a Bushfire Hazard Practitioner Do?

Our Bushfire Hazard Practitioner is accredited by the Chief Officer of the Tasmania Fire Service to prepare and certify bushfire hazard management plans.

As part of a Bushfire Assessment, our Bushfire Hazard Practitioner will:

  • Inspect the site and determine the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL);
  • Determine suitable bushfire protection measures;
  • Prepare a bushfire hazard report; and
  • Prepare a bushfire hazard management plan (BHMP).

Depending on whether your development is at the planning permit or building permit stage, they will also provide:

  • A Planning Certificate - certification that a BHMP complies with the planning requirements of the Bushfire-Prone Areas Code (or that the development is exempt due to insufficient increase in risk); or
  • A Form 55 Certificate of Specialist - certification under the Building Act that a BHMP complies with the Director's Determination - Requirements for Building in Bushfire-Prone Areas  (or that the development is exempt due to insufficient increase in risk).

Why is this important to you?

  • If your property or development is located within a Bushfire Hazard Area overlay, the Building Act requires you to have a certified Bushfire Hazard Report by an accredited Bushfire Hazard Practitioner.
  • Our accredited Bushfire Practitioner can assist you in preparing the most suitable solution for your project. We understand that every development is unique, so our reports are tailored to each individual lot and project. By customizing the Bushfire Hazard Management Plan (BHMP) to your specific project, you could save thousands in additional costs depending on the final BAL level.
