Meeting the new Bushfire Standard
27 April, 2009

March 2009, In light of the recent bushfires that devastated parts of regional Victoria, building standards have been revised to better protect communities and ensure homes are built to incorporate improved fire protection.

Introduced in Victoria on March 11, 2009, the new Australian Standards have been defined under six Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) categories from low to extreme risk. New homes will be required to have external walls constructed from non-combustible material. Hebel^® from CSR is one material that will comply with the new standards.
