🌿 Prepare Your Property for Summer & Bushfire Season 🌞🔥
Spring is in full swing and now is the perfect time to get your property ready for the upcoming Bushfire Season.
August rain has been great for the garden, but it also encourages fast-growing grass — and long grass is a magnet for fire, snakes, and mosquitoes.
✅ Here’s what you can do:
-
Keep grass trimmed to 15cm or less around your property.
-
Prune thick shrubs and remove any vegetation growing against your home, sheds, or water tanks.
-
Maintain at least a 2-metre gap between your roofline and any overhanging tree branches.
-
Clear out fire hazards such as leaves, twigs, bark, rubbish, and other debris that could catch fire or shelter snakes.
🛑 Don't forget:
Firebreaks must be installed by 1 November.
Check our Firebreak Management page or refer to your rates brochure for detailed requirements based on your land size and location.
Let’s all do our part to stay safe and bushfire-ready this season!
