No — bushfire overlays and BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) reports are not included in the standard Site Assessment fee.
BAL reports are:
- Quoted separately when triggered by Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) or local overlays
- Required for sites located in bushfire-prone zones under state planning codes
The $6,300 Site Assessment covers:
- Drone and site access survey
- Slope and footing review
- Preliminary compliance check and internal reporting
If a BAL overlay is identified during the Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) stage, Expandify will quote the required report and integrate any findings into your engineering and certification package.
