BMO
WHAT IS A
Bushfire Management Overlay
The Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) applies to land that may be significantly affected by extreme bushfires.
Whilst development in a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) may only require a BAL assessment, developments in a BMO may require planning approval by complying with four bushfire protection measures: Defendable Space (vegetation management), Bushfire Construction (BAL), Static Water Supply (water tank), and Access (driveway construction).
​
If you are planning to build, renovate or extend in a BMO, you may need a BMO Report, contact us today to discuss your project and get a quote.
