Course Content
This presentation discusses the risk factors and lessons learnt from recent bushfire events, concluding with how non-combustible steel materials combined with innovative construction methods are providing bushfire resilient building solutions. It also highlights the need to specify and build structures with materials which will ensure the greatest chance of survival in at-risk areas.
There are 3 Parts to this presentation which includes a Q&A session with the presenter and expert panel.
