These relate to vegetation clearing and are exemptions for defendable space around existing buildings and along fence lines.

There are specific requirements to meet the exemptions, such as the use of the building (must be accommodation) and have been constructed before specific dates (mostly September 2009, but be sure to check).
The exemptions allow landowners and residents to clear certain vegetation within certain distances of a dwelling.
You can check out more information here: Victorian Department of Planning & Transport.
Or just give us a call, Morrahan Services.
