Reminder to Landowners – Help Keep South Burnett Beautiful!
South Burnett Regional Council is reaching out to all landowners with a friendly reminder about the importance of maintaining your properties.
A clean, safe, and tidy property not only reflects pride in our community but also helps prevent risks such as fire hazards and pest infestations.
We all play a part in keeping South Burnett a beautiful place to live, and Council is here to assist and support landowners in meeting property maintenance standards.
Key Responsibilities for Landowners:
- Overgrown Vegetation:
- Grass and weeds should not exceed 300mm in height. Excess vegetation can create safety concerns and impact the community’s appearance.
- Tidy Properties:
- Avoid letting items like derelict vehicles, broken appliances, or household waste accumulate. These items can attract pests and diminish the overall beauty of our neighbourhoods.
- Compliance with Notices:
- If your property requires attention, Council may issue a notice with clear steps for improvement. Our goal is to work collaboratively with landowners to resolve any issues efficiently.
How You Can Help:
- Regularly mow lawns and maintain gardens.
- Clear any rubbish or debris from your property.
- Stay on-top of upkeep to avoid the need for intervention.
Council investigates concerns under Local Law No. 3 (Community and Environmental Management) 2011, which ensures properties meet community standards for health, safety, and visual appeal.
