Neighbourhood Safer Places

A 'Neighbourhood Safer Place' also known as a 'Bushfire Place of Last Resort' (NSP-BPLR) is a place of last resort when all other bushfire plans have failed.

Locations that may provide some protection from direct flame and heat from a fire, but they do not guarantee safety.
Not an alternative to planning to leave early or to stay and defend your property; they are a place of last resort if all other fire plans have failed.
An existing location and not a purpose-built, fire-proof structure. It is important to know that many NSP-BPLRs are simply a clearing that provides separation distance from the bushfire hazard (e.g. forest).
Not to be confused with Community Fire Refuges, Relief Centres, Recovery Centres or Assembly Areas, each of which have a different and specific purpose.
Not an appropriate destination when leaving the area early.
Not a place of shelter from other types of emergencies (e.g. to escape rising floodwaters or severe weather events).
