Removal of Application Fee for Roadside Burning and Clearing Applications
Back
Council advises at the February Ordinary Meeting of Council, it was resolved to remove the application fee of sixty dollars for the fence line clearing and roadside burning applications.
The removal of the fee is seen as a way of encouraging more applications to Council and acknowledges the benefits of maintaining and enhancing Council’s Road reserves by landowners.
“I encourage the public, to still be diligent and contact the relevant people and parties before lighting any fires” Cr Henschen said.
The requirement to lodge an application with Council will still be required, although the fee will no longer be applicable for the following applications:
- Application to Clear Vegetation on a Rural Road Reserve or Other Council Controlled Reserve
- Application to Burn a Rural Road Reserve or Other Council Controlled Reserve
