22 July 2009 - New Bushfire Building Regulations
In response to the February 2009 Victorian Bushfires, the Victorian Government has been the first state to adopt the new revision of AS3959-2009 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone area, which was intended to be referred by the Building Code of Australia in 2010.
Adoption of this standard has been followed by a suite of changes to the Victorian Building Regulations to allow use of this standard as the prescribed construction practice, as well as changes to the areas of its application.
The key change in the application of bushfire standards is that it now applies to the whole of Victoria and that every new residential dwelling and development (BCA Class 1, 2, 3 and associated 10a) will be subject to it.
