Bushfire reports and assessments, done properly
We help homeowners, builders, designers and planners across Melbourne and regional Victoria get accurate, fully accredited bushfire reports without the delays or knock-backs that come from using an unregistered assessor.
One team for all your bushfire planning needs
Building or renovating in a bushfire-prone area? Chances are you’ll need a bushfire report before your project can move ahead and getting the right one, done properly, saves a lot of back-and-forth later. We handle the full range, from a straightforward BAL rating through to complex planning overlay reports, so you’ve got one accredited point of contact from start to finish.

About Firefront Consultancies
Bushfire planning is all we do
Fire Front Consultancies was started by Sally van de Paverd in 2010, in the wake of the 2009 Black Saturday fires and the tighter building and planning rules that followed. Since then, bushfire assessment and planning has been our sole focus, not a sideline.
Sally is a Fire Protection Association Australia member, accredited to BPAD Level 3 (the highest level), and a member of the Victorian Bushfire Working Group. That means every report is properly registered, insured and peer-reviewed — which is exactly what referral authorities and building surveyors like to see.
