Bushfire Risk

Complete
moderate Risk

BAL Rating

BAL-19

Vegetation Category: Mixed eucalypt woodland and grassland with scattered rural residential properties; elevated terrain with forested ridges to north and west

Colac is a regional town in south-western Victoria with moderate bushfire risk due to its proximity to vegetated hills and forestry areas, particularly to the north and west. The town itself sits in a BMO-mapped area with typical BAL-19 construction requirements. Properties on the urban fringe or with uncleared vegetation should verify their specific BAL rating with the Victorian planning authority, as risk varies with local topography and vegetation density.
