BAL Rating

BAL-12.5

Vegetation Category: Mixed eucalypt woodland and grassland with scattered rural vegetation

Gooburrum is a semi-rural locality in central Queensland (near Bundaberg region) with moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding grassland and woodland vegetation typical of inland coastal Queensland. Properties in this area are likely to fall within BAL-12.5 zoning under Queensland's Bushfire Prone Area mapping, requiring standard construction measures. While not in a high-risk fringe zone, the locality's semi-rural character and vegetation patterns warrant consideration of bushfire safety planning.
