What is your council like?
I have a five acre block in which im tryn to clear native vegetation.The block has some rare fauna and is situated in a Extreme fire zone.
In order to build a house the council says i need a fire exclusion buffer zone.
I applied to clear a 20 metre recomended buffer zone behind the building envelope to protect the house which was rejected by the department of conservation but ordered by the department of fire management.
After almost 12 months of knock backs and inexcess of 7000 dollars later Im still no closer to gaining permission as the block is situated on a "trees for life site"
Turns out that you dont really own the land you purchase.

Seems the preservation of trees is more important than life?
We have seen this in the victorian bushfires and the toodjay bushfire.

The toodjay people are tryn to sue the goverment and "western power".because there houses burnt down.
They should be looking at tryn to sue there council (in which are not taking responcibility) and the dep for not allowing clearing and the implementation enforcement of fire protection zones.If i clear illegally to protect my house i will face fines inexcess of 50,000$

How do you deal with these people diplomatically? They recomend somthing they rejectet it..God its sending us Broke no wonder why im posting **** on here on a saturday night cause i cant afford to go out.

Anyone else had problems with there council.. This would make me feel better....







When is the doc (greenies)going to WAKE up and support fire management and recomended clearing stratagies?
What is the cost of a tree?








These people are responcible for the deaths along with the procedures and implimentations of local councils......

You placed authorized people to build in an oven with your "save the trees" and you should be held accountable for it.
