Hi all, just wondering about peoples experience with building in bushfire prone areas and how high a BAL people have been able to gain building permits for. Also, what documentation was needed to prove the compliance of rendered strawbale. Thanks.

up to Bal 29 is presently accepted, ( dut not allways) , if accompanied by the BAL 29 Bush fire test results , conducted by ausblae.
test results are available from the treasurer of Ausbale.
Bal 40 or Flame zone may be achieved by gaining a professional fire engineers certification that existing overseas tests exceed the Flame zone requirements , applying a bal 40 compliant cladding system, or by stipulating 90mm of masonary render.
Note wall construction needs to replicate the system tested.
not sure what thickness of vermiculite render would give a deemed to comply option??
as usual someone has to be the first to give it a try.
cheers lance
