AU Australia property term
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A classification of a building site's potential exposure to ember attack, radiant heat and direct flame contact during a bushfire.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
The BAL affects construction requirements and cost. A rating depends on site conditions such as vegetation, slope and distance, so confirm that an assessment matches the proposed building location.
