Bushfire Risk Assessments (BRA) mission is to ensure people understand the bushfire risk they are accepting prior to purchasing a property. This will create safer communities and ensure those choosing to live amongst the natural beauty of the Australian bush are more aware and mitigate their bushfire risk. BRA uses practical experience, best practice, academic research and cutting-edge technology to ensure you make informed decisions before buying a property.
Our Purpose
The NSW State Inquiry into the Bushfire Season of 2019/20 and the Royal Commission into fires of the same season highlighted in the future bushfires will be more frequent with greater intensity, and current methods of mitigation and education are becoming increasingly less effective. Bushfire Risk Assessments wants to assist in building future ready resilient communities.
