Green Tape Solutions can help you protecting your home from bushfires by reducing the risk. We help you:

• building in the safest place
• creating barriers and buffer zones around your home
• using an appropriate design, construction method and materials

In Queensland, the Australian Standard for the Construction of Buildings in Bushfire-prone Areas AS3959 (2018) covers the bushfire safety requirements of building in a bushfire prone area, as well as providing the methodology for calculating your bushfire attack level.

The Australian Standard for residential buildings applies to:

• new homes or outbuildings of any type
• rebuilding of homes or outbuildings
• repairs to part of a building or outbuilding (e.g. garage, shed or fireplace)
• additions to home and outbuildings within 6m of a dwelling.

You can check with your Local Council to determine if your property is in a “designated bushfire prone area”.  A designated bushfire prone area is land declared by local governments, as likely to be subjected to bushfires. You can also contact our experts to find out if your house is at risk.
