Fire Safety & Fuel Load Reduction
Keep your family safe and meet CFA requirements before fire season hits. Forestry mulching for fire safety isn't just about compliance — it's about protecting your investment.
Received a CFA or Council Notice?
If you've received a Fire Hazard Abatement Notice from your council, or a fire prevention notice from the CFA, you're legally required to act within the timeframe specified. Many property owners feel overwhelmed — not sure what's required, what's compliant, and who to call.
We can help. We'll visit your property, explain exactly what needs to be done to meet the notice requirements, and provide a written quote. After the work is complete, we provide documentation you can use to confirm compliance.
For most properties in the Surf Coast and Otways, one day of mulching is enough to clear the fuel load and meet the notice requirements. Call us on 0491 173 361 and we'll turn it around fast.
What documentation do we provide?
After the work is complete, you'll receive everything you need to demonstrate compliance to your council or the CFA.
- Written confirmation of works completed (date, area treated, scope)
- Before and after photos
- Invoice detailing works completed — accepted by most councils and CFA as evidence of compliance

When Should You Book?
The window for fire preparation in the Surf Coast and Otways is roughly April through October — before the high fire danger period begins. During this window, ground conditions are more suitable for machinery, burn-off restrictions are less likely to interfere, and there's time to properly establish defendable space before summer.
By November, demand picks up sharply and availability becomes limited. If you're thinking about fire preparation, the best time to get in touch is autumn — even if you're not ready to book immediately, an early conversation means we can plan around your timeline and prioritise your property before the season gets busy.
