Contest Brief
Animation video explaining and showing the " Standards for Asset Protection zones" and "how to prepare your APZ/BPZ for a BAL Assessment" (file attached)
Needs to explain that due to the new bushfire regulations in Western Australia you should maintain a APZ of BAL-29 or lower surrounding a habitable Dwelling or a Shed within 6m of a habitable dwelling.
There are "Rules" that apply to keep the Structure at a risk level that suits the surrounding vegetation and that is maintainable to the property owner.
The APZ (asset protection zone) or BPZ (building Protection zone) is an area measured from the walls of the structure to the edge of the vegetation surrounding the house. (fuels on the ground below the canopy)
this will show a house surrounded by bush with a yellow circle around it.
then,
The 3 main things that affect the APZ size is:
1. Vegetation type
2. Slope of the ground
3. Distance to the vegetation
Before you get a BAL Assessment you should get someone out to assess the site and measure an APZ to suit your location or
Use these simple steps to attempt your creation of a APZ:
1. mark out a suitable APZ of around 10-20m for grassland and can be 21-30m for forest, this varies on the Type of vegetation and slope of ground if unsure then you may need a site assessment to determine the APZ size.
2. Tree canopy cover within the APZ should be reduced to around 10% and tree to tree canopy's not closer than 5m at maturity.
3. Clear the Surface, near surface and intermediate fuels from inside the APZ from ground level to 2 metres in height, this includes Grasses, leaf matter, small shrubs, scrub, branches hanging down and all fine fuel loads.
4. All shrubs / Trees removed from within 6m of the walls of the structure and tree canopy's clear of the roof line of more than 2m when fully mature.
5. Combustible objects within 10m of a structure should not be located close to doors or windows.This includes but is not limited to: Firewood, furniture, vegetation, fuels etc.
6. Shrubs (.5-5m) have to be less than 5m2 is size, not located under trees, not within 10m of the structure and if taller than 5m they are classed as trees.
7. Ground covers (<.5m) can be under trees, must be >2m from structure and >3m from doors and windowsand if greater than .5m they are classed as Shrubs.
8. Grasses should be trimmed to 100mm or less within the APZ at all times.
These simple steps can help you,
I would like a demo showing a House on flat ground
and its surrounded by Forest vegetation
a yellow circle is drawn around the house to 22 metres (APZ)
Trees surrounding the house to 6m removed and further in the yellow to disappear to 10% canopy cover, roof line is clear
Clearing of the Fuels surrounding to 2m in height, showing low hanging branches, shrubs removed, grass is trimmed, leaves are raked up and removed
Combustible objects removed within 10m showing firewood etc removed from the area
Shrubs and ground covers removed. showing the trimming and removal of shrubs below trees and near structure.
Visual representation showing distances, heights and measurements.
Needs my Business logo on the video
Needs to show a house or proposed house location.
explain the distances with visual animations of trees, shrubs etc.
show that the lawn gets mowed/cut to less than 100mm
Distances to the trees are to the canopy edge (not the trunk)
the explanation for the canopy cover percent needs to be 10% or less.(nt 15 or higher)
It is required to get a (Bushfire attack level) BAL Level of BAL-29 or lowerto be able to build/Renovate a Dwelling in a bushfire prone area.
Says 15-20m also put can be 30+ metres for high threat vegetation.
needs to show that lower branches 2m or under need to be trimmed off within the APZ area.
needs show that the trees are measured at FULL MATURITY inside the APZ 5 metre spacing from the edge of each canopy.
I want some music and the video to be easy to watch.
