1.1Discuss and clarify proposed development with client.
1.2Review jurisdictional planning application process and regulations for proposed statutory planning application.
1.3Access and interpret maps and plans and locate proposed development site.
1.4Visit site and identify and assess constraints impacting compliance with bushfire regulatory requirements.

2 Review proposed development against bushfire and planning requirements.

2.1Interpret regulatory requirements governing proposed development in bushfire prone areas.
2.2Review key bushfire compliance requirements to identify opportunities and constraints affecting proposed development.
2.3Review supplementary environmental reports to identify opportunities and constraints for compliance with bushfire regulatory requirements.

3 Develop options for planning application to achieve compliance.

3.1Analyse options for compliance with bushfire regulatory requirements.
3.2Select options for compliance best suited to proposed development.
