If you own a bush block in Lorne, Aireys Inlet, or along the Great Ocean Road, you already know the drill — CFA compliance isn't optional.
These premium coastal areas sit in some of Victoria's highest bushfire risk zones. The combination of dense vegetation, steep terrain, and limited access makes fire preparation absolutely essential.
That means strict fuel load requirements, defendable space rules, and annual maintenance. Councils and the CFA take compliance seriously, and so should you.
The good news? Forestry mulching makes compliance fast, clean, and hassle-free.
We've helped property owners from Lorne to Fairhaven, Anglesea to Kennett River, prepare their land for fire season — without the mess of burning or the damage of bulldozers.
What we typically do for Lorne and Aireys Inlet properties includes creating defendable space around buildings (usually 10-30 metres), clearing access tracks for emergency vehicles, reducing fuel loads in high-risk zones, and removing fallen timber and debris.
Unlike traditional clearing methods, forestry mulching preserves the character of your property. We selectively clear understorey vegetation while keeping established trees — maintaining privacy and the natural bush setting you love.
The mulch left behind enriches your soil and helps prevent erosion on those steep coastal slopes.
