Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia (CCAA) has released a new publication that deals with building in bushfire-prone areas.

CCAA Briefing 10: Building in Bushfire-prone Areas can be freely downloaded at the CCAA website.

It provides advice and insights for building designers, architects, builders, local authorities, developers and owners.

The publication presents concrete and masonry-based solutions relevant to the design and construction of a range of building types from garages and sheds to houses, commercial and community buildings.
