10/30 vegetation rules (Clause 52.43 – Interim measures for bushfire protection)

The Victorian Government has approved interim measures governing removal of vegetation around homes to help communities in bushfire prone areas prepare for the 2009/2010 bushfire season. The measures gazetted on 10 September 2009 are interim, Clause 52.43 will expire on 31 August 2010.

As per the Clause 52.43 advisory note, the Clause 52.43 exemptions do NOT apply where the land is subject to any legal agreements such as S173 agreements or covenants that have the effect of prohibiting the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation.

The regulation of vegetation removal for bushfire protection will be reassessed by the Victorian Government once the final report of the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission is available.

For further information see Clause 52.43, Clause 52.43 advisory note and Native Vegetation - Local Government (DSE website).

Also refer to Council's Fire Prevention page for information relating to Getting Victoria Fire Ready and other fire prevention information.
