Making Victoria fire ready - Vegetation clearing
The government has announced interim planning provisions to simplify residents' entitlements to clear native vegetation around their homes as part of their preparations for the 2009/10 fire season.
The changes include a 10/30 right for clearing around buildings used for accommodation and along fence-lines.
Please note that the interim planning provisions will become operative once gazetted by the government.
Two fact sheets and FAQ's are available for further information.
Find out more about Vegetation clearing and bushfire preparedness at the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Land Management site.
