Bushfires place homes at great risk and cause extensive damage across Australia every year, with the cost of the bushfire damage incurred last summer exceeding $550 million. That means if you reside near the bush, you need to prepare your property in readiness for bushfire season, with Government schemes like the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Scheme providing people who live near the bush with an extra way of preparing for bushfires. Use this tool to check if you live in a 10/50 area.

If you don’t live in a 10/50 area but would still like to protect your property from bushfires, or need to obtain a council permit to trim or remove trees from your property, please click on your council link below.
