Land Clearing and Flood Recovery, Rochester

Local, on the ground

Flood cleanup, fallen tree removal, willow control and forestry mulching across Rochester and the Campaspe.

Rochester copped it in 2022 and the recovery has not stopped since. Every big rain event puts more trees on fences, driveways and paddocks, and the cleanup is ongoing work through the shire. Ironbark Vegetation Management handles the post-flood and post-storm side, fallen tree removal, debris cleanup, hazard tree drops, and mulching the green waste on-site so you are not stuck burning piles later. We also do the year-round work, forestry mulching, land clearing, slashing, blackberry and willow control along the river flats.

• 01Campaspe Shire is still working through Rochester Flood Risk Management Plans from the 2022 event. Insurance and council-funded cleanups are ongoing work and every job we do is photographed and documented for the paperwork.
• 02River red gum drops big limbs without warning, especially after flood stress. Hazard tree work near houses, sheds and pump stations is regular work up here.
• 03Willow along the Campaspe is a Weed of National Significance and actively controlled by waterway managers. Mechanical clearing done to standard is specialist work.
• 04Rural properties between Rochester, Lockington and Elmore run a lot of long grass and volunteer scrub after wet years. Slashing and mulching resets the property properly.
