If you live in an area where 10/50 provisions apply, the scheme allows you to:

•  Clear trees on your property within 10 metres of a home, without seeking approval; and

•  Clear underlying vegetation (other than trees) such as shrubs on your property within 50 metres of a home, without seeking approval.

There may be other restrictions that apply, such as if your property is on a slope, or there are items of Aboriginal or cultural significance in the area. Find out more below
