Bushcon has BPAD accredited consultants who are recognised by the NSW Rural Fire Service to assess the risk of bushfire for all types of development in NSW.

Bushcon Australia was founded by Matt Toghill who through his experience as a licensed builder and firefighter with Fire & Rescue NSW saw the effects a bushfire can have on families and their properties. Matt saw first-hand the importance of incorporating bushfire mitigation measures in new and existing developments. He completed the Graduate Certificate of Bushfire Protection through the University of Western Sydney and became an Accredited Bushfire Planning & Design (BPAD) Practitioner though the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPA Australia).

"Matt is not only a consummate professional but also a pleasure to work with. His deep-rooted understanding of bushfire safety, stemming from his dual roles as a builder and firefighter, sets him apart. Matt's expertise, responsiveness, and collaborative nature make him an invaluable asset to our projects."

“We have been using Matt at Bushcon Australia for our bushfire reports for several years. The service we receive is prompt and great value, the reports are thorough and suit council’s requirements. We have found him very helpful during the design phase to lessen BAL impacts on proposed structures. I would highly recommend Bushcon Australia.”
