To help combat the impacts of bushfires in Queensland, the Queensland Government has partnered with the CSIRO to develop guidelines that can help improve the bushfire resilience of new and existing homes.
Bushfire Resilient Building Guidance for Queensland Homes provide information on best-practice building and landscaping measures that use tailored, site-specific solutions to adapt buildings for bushfire resilience.
The guidelines were developed in collaboration with Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, Department of Housing and Public Works, Queensland Treasury, Local Government Association of Queensland, Queensland Building and Construction Commission, Livingstone Shire Council, Scenic Rim Regional Council, Queensland University of Technology (Dr Ian Weir), James Davidson Architect, and Barracuda Design.
