What Are The Land Clearing Regulations In Rockhampton?

Here at Jeff Thompson Excavator Hire, we have everything that you need and know all of the rules to follow. Here is some of the most important information you need to know about land clearing regulations in Rockhampton.

Fire-Breaks

When it comes to fire-breaks around buildings and other large infrastructure (apart from roads, fences and tracks), you are permitted to clear up to twenty metres, or one and a half times the height of an adjacent tree. Whichever of these two measuring tools is greater is advised to be chosen when performing fire-break land clearing.

Fenceline Issues

For lesser fenceline issues, you are allowed to clear an area up to ten metres in width. There are, however, a few exceptions with regards to select areas. These include development projects, vegetation and compliance with various other federal, state or local laws that need to be adhered to.

Of course, the best way to go about this is to hire a professional for the job, a firm that is used to working within this regulation and won’t get you into any trouble with the law during the process.
