Project: Fire Risk Modelling | Future Fires

RFS4 Research into Building Performance during Bush Fires

The project is designed to conduct post-fire investigation of house loss in NSW. It will provide insight into the effectiveness and appropriateness of the existing regulatory framework relevant to building bushfire protection and associated land-use planning development controls and will provide recommendations for its improvement.  

Project timeline: 05/2023 – 08/2025
