Planning for Bushfire Protection(2006) should be consulted. The Asset Protection Zone should be containedwithin the boundaries of the land and therefore represent the minimumsetback, unless a larger setback is required by this Chapter or a developmentspecific Chapter of this DCP.Part I – Other Considerations – Setbacks and Building Height I.43
