Australia has the most significant wildfire problem in Oceania, with in excess of 50,000 wildfires per annum on average, and an average of 500,000 km 2 of land burnt by wildfires annually across the nation. Each year a number of these wildfires also affect the built environment at the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Each year in Australia, 84 dwellings are destroyed by wildfires on average, albeit historically, only a small number of extreme wildfire events have accounted for the vast majority of the destruction. In response to this WUI fire problem, Australia has developed standards that are cited in the National Construction Code (or NCC), which control construction at the WUI. These standards are constantly under review and evolving as new research is conducted. This paper is a review paper which provides a summary of the building regulatory controls that are in place in Australia to minimise the impact of WUI fires on the built environment. As such, the paper attempts to clarify for a broader international audience how the WUI fire problem is dealt with in one developed country where a significant WUI fire problem exists.

澳大利亚野火多发地区建筑物的监管控制

澳大利亚是大洋洲最严重的野火问题，平均每年发生超过 50,000 起野火，全国每年平均有 500,000 平方公里的土地被野火烧毁。每年，这些野火都会影响荒地-城市界面 (WUI) 的建筑环境。在澳大利亚，平均每年有 84 座住宅被野火摧毁，尽管从历史上看，只有少数极端野火事件占了破坏的绝大部分。为应对这一 WUI 火灾问题，澳大利亚制定了国家建筑规范 (NCC) 中引用的标准，该规范控制 WUI 的施工。随着新研究的进行，这些标准不断地接受审查和发展。本文是一篇评论文章，它总结了澳大利亚为尽量减少 WUI 火灾对建筑环境的影响而实施的建筑监管控制措施。因此，本文试图向更广泛的国际受众阐明在一个存在严重 WUI 火灾问题的发达国家如何处理 WUI 火灾问题。
