Bushfire risk in Mascot (2020)
If you are considering a property in Mascot, the bushfire-prone land status of the specific lot is one of the most consequential pieces of information you can obtain before signing a contract. In the Bayside area, bushfire-prone land classification is recorded on the Section 10.7 planning certificate, which sellers are required to attach to the contract of sale.
If Mascot shows elevated bushfire risk, the practical implications for buyers are: higher building standards for any new construction or major renovation, potential constraints on vegetation clearing, and possible increases in home insurance premiums. The RFS provides a free online tool to check whether a specific property is on bushfire-prone land. Use it alongside the Section 10.7 certificate.
