What matters for carpentry in Adelaide

  • Check your bushfire hazard rating through the Planning and Design Code address lookup before you design anything. Where an application is referred to the Country Fire Service it looks at siting, construction, access for fire trucks, vegetation clearance and water supply.

  • The CFS says ember attack is the main way homes catch fire, that timber shakes, shingles, plywood and bituminous felt roofing are not allowed in fire prone areas, and that tiles need fire retardant sarking beneath them.

  • The CFS advises against elevated timber decking, stairs and raised verandahs in bushfire areas, and against rough sawn timber, because homes on poles or stumps with exposed decking can be firetraps. Dense hardwoods such as jarrah are the safer choice if timber is used.

  • Every property in the Adelaide Hills Council area has to meet bushfire construction requirements, and a new dwelling in the Hazard (Bushfire High Risk) Overlay is referred to the Country Fire Service, which has six weeks to assess it and the power of direction.
