The 10/50 vegetation clearing scheme gives people who live in designated areas near the bush permission to

  • Clear trees on their property within 10 metres of a home, without seeking approval; and
  • Clear underlying vegetation such as shrubs (but not trees) on their property within 50 metres of a home, without seeking approval.

We completed work on a property in Galston under this rule, in preparation for bush fire season.
