Where work will start (first fire risk reduction area)

We propose to start work in the area shown in white on the map below. This area has been identified as a higher fire risk.

How the work will be carried out

• The work will be carried out using mechanical harvesting equipment.
• Trees will be felled and transported across the river to be processed and mulched.
• Mulching will be done on the opposite side of the river because the riverbank is steep and difficult to access safely. Using the flatter site reduces safety risks for workers and limits disruption to nearby properties and tracks.

What to expect during works

While the work is underway, you may notice:

• increased noise during tree removal
• heavy vehicle and truck movements
• temporary track closures on both sides of the river (around four weeks)

🚧 Work will take place during normal working hours. Signage will be in place to show what’s happening and where access is restricted.
