Description
PUBLIC EXHIBITION
On 24 August 2021, Maitland City Council resolved to place the Draft Maitland Bush Fire Prone Land Map 2021 on public exhibition.
The Draft Map has been prepared by the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) in partnership with the Council to protect the communities from the risk of bush fires and inform future land use planning and development activities.
The identification of Bush Fire Prone Land in NSW is required under Section 10.3 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The Draft Map identifies land that is at risk from bush fire attack and acts as a trigger for development of land within bush fire prone areas to ensure, that bush fire safety provisions are incorporated into the development.
