BMO compliance, lifestyle property clearing and defensible space across the Macedon Ranges.
Kyneton and the wider Macedon Ranges have some of the strictest bushfire planning controls in the state. Big parts of the shire sit inside the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), which means new builds, extensions and even some outbuildings need a proper Asset Protection Zone assessed and maintained. Ironbark Vegetation Management does the physical side of that, APZ clearing to CFA standard, forestry mulching, slashing, fence lines and driveway defensible space, all on lifestyle properties and horse properties where the finish actually matters.
- 01The BMO covers wide areas of Kyneton, Woodend, Trentham, Malmsbury, Tylden and out toward Macedon and Mount Macedon. If your property is inside it, your planning permit conditions do not expire, council can audit and enforce years after the build is signed off.
- 02Lifestyle properties and horse properties across the Macedon Ranges expect a clean finish, no scarred ground, no chewed fences, no gates left open. We work to that standard on every job.
- 03Long dry grass on 5 to 40 acre properties is the number one cause of grassfires in this country. Slashing and paddock topping through spring and early summer keeps you out of trouble.
- 04Blackberry along creeks and gullies is a Macedon Ranges specialty. Mechanical mulching plus a targeted spray plan is the only thing that actually holds it back.
