Population growth in the peri-urban areas to the north of Melbourne has been significant over the past two decades. This has occurred in existing urban centres and across the rural landscape. Recent bushfires (February 2009) in this region have resulted in the highest casualties recorded in Aust...
This paper examines the extent to which bushfire planning legislation and regulations in South East Queensland provide for the reduction of risk for development in bushfire-prone peri-urban areas by exploring their 'on the ground' implementation. The paper uses case studies from the Gold Coast City...
The research examines the effectiveness of current policy to provide adequate access and suppression opportunities for firefighters in peri-urban areas, with particular reference to Victoria. Subdivision policies applicable to development in bushfire-prone areas throughout Australia and the United States are...

The need for such an Overlay is becoming increasingly apparent as climate change contributes to the growing frequency and intensity of bushfires in Australia. Empirical research has found that, by following WMO prescriptions, the risk of a dwelling igniting from direct flame or radiant heat ...
The Victoria Planning Provisions (VPPs) include siting and design regulations incorporated into local government planning schemes to mitigate risk in areas prone to bushfires. Introduced in 1997, these provisions were previously called the Wildfire Management Overlay (WMO). Now updated and renamed the...
Using analysis of diverse urban planning proposals in bushfire prone areas of Victoria Australia, a systematic and site-specific approach for bushfire risk assessment is set out. A three-step process is proposed as a basis for delivery of design solutions to manage bushfire risks. The paper ...
