May 29, 2007 (Press Release) --
During the last 2 years the NSW Government has introduced measures to protect new homes from potential damage by bushfires.
Basically the requirements are in 4 levels, being level 1, 2, 3 and flame zone.
Upgrading your home to comply with these regulations varies from ember protection to using approved fire retardant hardwoods in all exterior applications (eg decks and pergolas). In the extreme case of flame zone it may mean timber can't be used as an exterior finish.
NSW providers of Kit Homes - Ozkit Homes have their own hardwood milling facility to enable them to provide dried and dressed fire retardant hardwood as standard for all exterior structural timbers.
This will allow their Kit Homes to comply with NSW regulations. reffer to http://www.ozkithomes.com.au
