Changes to the 10/50 rule

The NSW Rural Fire Service recently announced changes to the 10/50 vegetation clearing rule. Changes to the rule affect the eligibility area on (and after) the 27 November 2014. If you previously had approval to remove a tree or vegetation under the 10/50 rule, you need to re-check before tree removal as the changes are currently in effect. You can check your eligibility to apply the 10/50 rule at the following website http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/1050-vegetation-clearing/tool#tool
