BAL Rating

BAL-LOW

Vegetation Category: Urban/developed with scattered ornamental vegetation

Kangaroo Point is a dense inner-city suburb of Brisbane with predominantly urban development, low vegetation density, and limited bushland interface. Bushfire risk is minimal due to the suburb's built-up nature and distance from significant bushfire-prone vegetation. Properties in this area are generally not mapped as bushfire-prone under QLD SPP/SP3.
