    Get ready for the insurance premiums. They'll be premium.

    Residents already pay an insurance premium to secure this coverage,
    and bushfire-prone locations lead to loadings on those premiums rather
    than outright denial of insurance. No NSW-specific law mandates extra
    upfront payments beyond the standard premium for basic fire
    protection.
