Bushfire Management Overlay Assessment

The Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) was previously called the Wildfire Management Overlay (WMO)

Our BMO Assessors work all over Victoria; John & Andrew specialize in rural environments.

If your property is in a Bushfire Management Overlay area you will need to have prepared a
Bushfire Management Statement to meet the objectives, requirements and standards of
clauses 13.05, 44.06 and 52.47 of the Victorian Planning Provisions.

An application must demonstrate, amongst other things, that all fire protection requirements for:
"Water Supply"
"Access"
"Buildings and works"
"Vegetation Management"
have been considered and incorporated.

To undertake an assessment in accordance with the Victorian Planning Provisions
it is important to establish if you can meet your "defendable space" requirments on your own land.



We can undertake your Site and Vegetation assessment and, in consultation with you,
prepare a "Bushfire Management Statement".


All written reports will include photos and be suitable for lodging with your Planning Permit.

Note: The BAL rating sets minimum standards for design and construction. However we would
always recommend that, particularly in a rural environment,
you should endeavor to comply with higher levels of protection.
Ember protection should always be a priority.

Available 7 days a week – ring us on 0417 885 747

We would welcome the opportunity of expanding on any of the points mentioned above.
