Building in Bushfire-Prone Areas

We provide accurate, efficient Bushfire Assessments / BAL Reports to help you meet compliance requirements while designing safer, more resilient homes. Whether you're planning a new build, renovation, or subdivision, we guide you through the process with clarity and practical advice.

What is a BAL Assessment?

A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment determines the potential exposure of a building to bushfire attack. It considers factors like:

  • Vegetation type and proximity

  • Slope of the land

  • Distance from bushfire hazards

  • Local environmental conditions 

Why You Need a BAL Report?

  • Lodging a Development Application (DA)

  • Applying for a Building Permit

  • Designing a home in a bushfire-prone area

  • Subdividing land

  • Modifying an existing structure​
     

Without a compliant BAL report, your project may

face delays, redesign costs, or approval issues.
