while areas at risk of forest fires may be less easy to organise into zones decisions to extend urban boundary limits would do well to take into account whether this would extend development into zones of fire risk one important reform would be to increase the flexibility of zoning in part through conditional planning another would be to create greater incentives for infill development and mixed use both of which are permitted but perhaps not adequately incentivised better enabling infill development would also help address concerns about the availability of developable land within urban boundaries
