Fire Breaks
Create a 3m wide dirt path all around and as closely as possible to the inside of your property's boundary with a 4m verticle clearance. Make sure there are no dead ends.

Maintained, reticulated living lawns that are kept completely green are permitted in conjunction with or in place of a fire break

Dead Material
Keep dead flammable material below 8 tonnes per hectare.

If you don't have livestock, cut the grass and weeds to under 5cm. Dispose of all clippings.
