the site, which may determine the likely path of any bush fires, and(d) any features on or adjoining the site that may mitigate the impact of a high intensity bush fire on the proposed development, and(e) for development of bush fire prone land, a statement assessing the environmental impact of any proposed bush fire protection measures. | | (7) | With respect to other hazards, the identification of any present or past usages of the site that may represent a risk to community health or the environment with respect to site contamination or potential site contamination. | | (8) |
