ABOUT THE GUIDE
Approximately 56% of Gold Coast land is affected by some level of bushfire hazard. The purpose of the Gold Coast Bushfire Resilient Design Guideline is to improve bushfire awareness and resilience throughout the community, with innovative, practical and affordable best practice solutions.
BENEFITS OF BUSHFIRE RESILIENCE
The benefits of bushfire resilient design are far-reaching and support economic, social and environmental recovery in the aftermath of a bushfire. Bushfire resilient design can:
- reduce the impact of bushfire on homes and loss of life
- improve community resilience to bushfire events
- reduce the social and financial cost of recovering from bushfires
- conserve and enhance Australia’s biodiversity and ecological value.
