Frequently Asked Questions
How wide should a firebreak be?
Firebreak width depends on local fire risk, vegetation type, and property size. Rural fire services typically recommend a minimum width of three metres, but larger areas or high-risk zones may require wider breaks. Regulations may vary between states or councils.
What is development site preparation?
Development site preparation involves clearing vegetation, levelling ground, and ensuring access for construction or infrastructure work. It’s the first step in most building projects and includes removing obstacles, grading land, and ensuring proper drainage before development begins.
When is the best time to create a firebreak?
Firebreaks should be established before bushfire season begins, ideally in late winter or early spring. Clearing early allows for proper planning and reduces risk during peak fire danger periods. Ongoing maintenance is also important throughout the warmer months.
