Regional Wind Speed,


Figure 3.1 of AS/NZS Wind speed for the address is 57 m/s (Region B1) - and was derived from 50, 100, 150 and 200km smooth lines, set in from a smooth coastline, as per
1170.2 Figure 3.3 of AS/NZS 1170.0. Moreover, the wind speed calculation is based on Design Working Life for 50 years and Importance level 2. Refer to
