Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)

If you build a new home within a BPA ( Bushfire Prone Area) you're legally required to have a BAL assessment ( Bushfire Attack Level). The BAL has been put in place to help improve a building’s chance of withstanding a bushfire. With it you're better able to determine what type of insurance you need for your building. The BAL takes into consideration a number of factors like:

  • The type of construction needed for you to obtain a building permit

  • The fire danger index ( heat level and spread )

  • The slope of the land

  • Types of surrounding vegetation 

  • And more

Protect your home from a bushfire by following the best practices outlined here Consider also installing a fire sprinkler system one of your best defences against fires. Contact Sinclair Fire today to find out more.
