Ironbark Vegetation Management is a Bendigo based land clearing and vegetation management outfit working Ashbourne and the wider Woodend district, all inside a 150km radius of home. Overgrown paddocks, scrub choked land, blackberry and gorse, Asset Protection Zones, fence lines, access tracks and driveways, we turn up with the right gear and get it done properly.
Woodend and the surrounding Macedon Ranges country runs through some of the highest bushfire risk in the state. A big chunk of the shire sits inside the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), which means planning permits carry ongoing Asset Protection Zone conditions that council can enforce years after sign off. Ironbark Vegetation Management handles the physical side, APZ clearing to CFA standard, forestry mulching, paddock slashing and fence line work on lifestyle properties, horse properties and rural residential parcels.
- 01The BMO covers wide sections of Woodend, Newham, Cobaw, Carlsruhe and out toward Macedon and Mount Macedon. If your property is inside it, defensible space is a planning obligation, not a suggestion.
- 02Lifestyle and horse properties dominate the Woodend market. We work to that standard, cut heights set right, no debris in fences, gates closed behind us.
- 03Blackberry along creeks and gullies is a Macedon Ranges specialty. Mechanical mulching plus a follow-up spray plan is the only thing that holds it back long term.

Do you work in Ashbourne?
Yes. Ashbourne sits inside our regular patch, within about 150km of Bendigo, and we are through the Woodend district most weeks. Send your address and what you are dealing with and we will book an on-site look.
What sort of jobs do you do around Ashbourne?

Can you give me a price over the phone for a Ashbourne property?
No, and that is deliberate. Every property is different, growth, slope, access and what is hiding in the scrub all change the job. We come out, walk it with you, then quote in writing off a set scope.
How far ahead should I book for fire season?
Winter and early spring. By October the diary is full right across the Central Victoria district. Get your Asset Protection Zone and firebreak work booked before the Fire Danger Period starts.
