Design for Bushfire Defence

Can your home design help you defend more effectively?

I was recently invited to write an article for Sanctuary Magazine (issue 61) on the topic of Design for Active Bushfire Defence. The article, which covers the gap between how-to-defend advice and how-do-design-for-bushfire-prone-areas discussed a short list of things you might consider including in your home design to aid active defence, should that situation ever arise.

You can download and read the full article here.
