Firebreak Requirements
 As we approach Friday, 15 November, it is important to clear your land of all flammable matter to help protect vegetation from bushfires. We send out written notification in October each year, reminding you of our firebreak requirements, including ways you can minimise potential fire hazards around your home and garden.
 
All firebreaks on vacant land must be completed by 15 November and maintained until 30 April the following year.
 
Our Rangers will inspect all properties during the firebreak season to ensure properties have been cleared of flammable matter.
 
Please note that should you fail to install the firebreak or clear land of flammable matter, you will be liable for an infringement of $250, or a fine with a penalty of up to $5,000, as well as the cost of performing the work.
 
It is also important to note that the burning of rubbish, refuse, vegetation, or offensive matter is prohibited within the City of Melville, except where written approval has been issued by Health Services for use of an approved incinerator unit.
 
For more information, visit melvillecity.com.au/firebreaks.
