Vacant Land

Council's General Local Law 2008 requires property owners to maintain their properties (especially vacant land) throughout the year.

An owner or occupier of land must keep that land, and anything on that land:

• In a manner that is not unsightly;
• Making sure trees, plants or anything over-hanging onto the road is not less than 3m in height
• Discouraging snakes, vermin, weeds or insects (refer to our Animal Problems page) 
• Remove all rubbish, disused excavation, waste material, machinery or derelict vehicles and
• Ensuring your land and anything on that land is not dangerous or likely to cause danger to life.

An owner of vacant land must keep grass, weeds and undergrowth on that land at a height below 150mm.
