Land Clearing and Weed Control, Castlemaine

Local, on the ground

Gorse, blackberry and scrub knocked back properly. Mount Alexander Shire specialists.

Castlemaine and the surrounding goldfields country carry more gorse than almost anywhere in the state. Gorse is a Weed of National Significance and a regionally controlled weed under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994, which means as a landowner in Mount Alexander Shire you have a legal responsibility to control it. Same story with blackberry and serrated tussock. Ironbark Vegetation Management handles the mechanical side, forestry mulching, land clearing, slashing and scrub removal, so you can get on top of a declared weed problem before council does.

• 01Mount Alexander Shire actively enforces weed control obligations. Compliance directions are real, and the cheapest way to answer one is to get the mechanical clearing done first, then follow up with spot spraying on the regrowth.
• 02Old goldfields country holds a lot of surprises under the scrub, mullock heaps, old shafts, buried fencing. We walk every property before we start a machine, so nothing gets damaged and no operator gets hurt.
• 03Castlemaine, Chewton, Campbells Creek, Elphinstone, Harcourt, Guildford and Newstead are our regular runs. Small hobby properties, larger rural holdings, historic properties, we handle all of it with the same care.
• 04For property sales in the Castlemaine market, a tidy, walked-through property sells for meaningfully more than a scrub-choked one. Pre-sale cleanups are a fast turnaround job for us.
