How we help?
Our bushfire consultants provide expert advice and comprehensive assessments to support successful development outcomes on bushfire-prone land. We work closely with homeowners, developers, architects, planners and approval authorities to navigate complex bushfire planning requirements and deliver practical, compliant solutions.

Our preliminary bushfire advice assists in assessing the feasibility of your project at an early stage. This typically includes a BAL contour plan identifying the Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL) across the site, providing valuable insight into bushfire constraints and development opportunities.
By understanding bushfire requirements early, clients can make informed decisions regarding site planning, dwelling placement, and potential design constraints early in the process.
