Hi there,
I have a question about BAL.
A house is planned to be built at location C, and the BAL is classified as FZ, then I read standard AS 3959-2009 carefully and have some questions.

the Fire Danger Index(FDI) is 100,
both area A and B are larger than 1 ha
Vegetation classification of area A and area B is Woodland ?
Slope is upslopes (0 degree)
the proposed envelop is less than 10m from area A&B
from the standard, the vegetation classification is one of key factors to determine BAL, and it's seem that area A could be excluded since it is windbreak; is area B Woodland? the height of trees in this area is 20-30m, and foliage cover is 30%.

now the key issue is whether area B is a woodland or a grassland,
if it is Woodland, BAL would be FZ if I don't change the location of the proposed house. And if it's grassland, the location wouldn't be change and I could save heaps of money.
anyone could give a hand? thanks.
