Council would like to remind property owners of the need to reduce fire hazards this bushfire season. It is essential that property owners mow/slash long grass and undergrowth regularly during the summer months.
Our Community Compliance Officers are currently undertaking inspections throughout the municipality to check that standards are being maintained.
Abatement notices may be issued under the Local Government Act 1993 where a fire hazard exists. Failure to comply with this notice may result in Council engaging contractors to clear the hazard at the owner’s expense.
Let’s work together to keep everyone safe this bushfire season.
