16/02/2009                Affordable Fireproof Rooms and Shelters

Dear  Tanya

Thank you once again your letter dated 16th June 08 pointing out what money the government is providing through State, Territory and Local Governments.
On a more basic level I would like to point out some other benefits in building Dome buildings, rooms and Shelters.
  
We are at a time in history where we need to look at alternative safe Building Designs. Homes being built today are not Fire Proof and don’t reach the needs of many Australians.

With the Destructive Fires recently in Victoria, Governments must now look at changing the building codes, to ensure all homes in fire hazard areas are fireproof or have a fire safe room. Please let me tell you how this can be achieved very simply and cost effective A Dome Concrete Room could be built on to the back of every home and disguised to blend into the design and look like a conventional home; this would double as a fire safe room. This can be achieved very simply with my Simple Patent Formwork
 
The benefits of building Dome fireproof Homes Rooms, or Shelters are mind blowing, if you have ever looked into the concept you will understand the benefits.

As we have seen in the past week the horrific fires in Victoria, if every home had a fireproof Room or Bunker, I believe this would have prevented the tragic loss of so many lives. 
I must point out some of the benefits of a Concrete Dome Buildings, a Tornado will not blow them over, they are Fireproof and people could use them to shelter should there be a fire, they are Maintenances free, and I believe they would stand up to a Tsunami.  They are also cooler than a conventional building..

This Dome concept could also be used for water Storage, they could be built throughout Australia, to catch Water in Winter, water would be available in summer, when Australia is most vulnerable to fires, as we have seen in Victoria.
Build them near homes on school grounds, reserves, roadways or any easy accessible location. Big dams are of no use to the individual; water has to be available to everyone in a fire   

Please contact me should you believe there is a need to save peoples lives and property, with safe affordable housing, the time has come where we must look at safety as a priority and I believe most Australians would agree with me.

I am hoping your government will look at this concept and help me overcome some of the obstacles in making this become a reality.

Yours sincerely
