Our Team

Resilient Bushfire Solutions is led by Michael, a BPAD-accredited bushfire consultant with over 15 years of frontline experience as an operational urban firefighter. Based in Wollongong, Michael brings a unique and highly practical perspective to bushfire risk assessments, BAL reports, and bushfire planning advice across NSW, including the Illawarra, South West Sydney, Southern Highlands and South Coast regions.


Michael holds a Bachelor of Construction Management and a Postgraduate Diploma in Bushfire Protection, giving him a strong foundation in both the regulatory frameworks and real-world application of bushfire resilience principles. His work in multi-disciplinary planning teams has also provided valuable experience in environmental assessment, vegetation management, and land use planning — all essential components when assessing bushfire-prone land.


Whether supporting development applications, conducting pre-purchase bushfire inspections, or advising on building compliance with AS 3959:2018 and PBP 2019, Michael combines technical precision with operational insight. 


His goal is to help clients make informed, confident decisions through accurate, site-specific advice tailored to their project and risk.

 A BAL assessment determines the potential level of bushfire risk to your property. It is used to identify the construction requirements under AS 3959 – Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas. The higher the BAL, the more stringent the construction requirements. 


In NSW, a BPAD-accredited bushfire consultant is required to prepare BAL reports, especially for Complying Development Applications. Resilient Bushfire Solutions is BPAD Level 2 accredited and can assist in providing a compliant BAL Certificate. 


 Need help with a BAL assessment? Contact us for a site-specific quote. 


 Yes, we are BPAD Level 2 accredited through the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPA Australia). This accreditation ensures recognised, expert-level assessment and reporting ensuring your BAL report meets legal and council requirements. 


 You may need a bushfire assessment report if your property is in a bushfire-prone area, and you’re planning to:

  • Build a new home or granny flat
  • Subdivide land
  • Renovate or extend an existing dwelling
  • Lodge a Development Application (DA)


Most reports are completed within 5–10 business days, depending on the complexity of your site and the availability of required information. We offer fast turnaround options for urgent applications.


 A bushfire consultant assesses your site, provides BAL ratings, develops bushfire protection measures, and prepares reports to support Development Applications (DA) under Planning for Bushfire Protection 2019 (PBP) and Section 4.14 of Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. 


 We work with homeowners, architects, and developers from early design through to approval 


We are based in Wollongong and service the Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Highlands, Western Sydney, and can travel more broadly across NSW if needed. 


 Yes. We offer pre-purchase advice to help buyers understand the bushfire constraints on a property before committing to a sale. This can save time, money, and reduce future risk. 


Design choices such as setbacks, building materials, access routes, and landscaping all impact bushfire risk. We help integrate compliant and practical solutions from the outset
