Rural property, Bendigo
Site Prep & Asset Protection Zone
This property was getting ready for a new dwelling, so the owners needed selected trees taken out and the site prepped before the BAL assessment. Pulling the vegetation and fuel loads back from the house and sheds opens up a proper Asset Protection Zone, which is one more layer of protection when fire season rolls around. We also widened the front entrance so emergency vehicles can get in without a fight.
What we did
Trees and scrub cleared along the fence lines and around the dwelling site, then pushed into a pile where the owners wanted it. Gum trees crown lifted to bring the fuel loads down. Timber gate post shifted and concreted in, rock wall taken out to widen the entrance. Dirt mounds spread back over the site and finished off with a smudge bar pass.
Result
A smooth, clean building platform the builders can walk straight onto, a clear Asset Protection Zone around the dwelling site, and an entrance wide enough for emergency vehicles.
