Is a permit required to undertake works to facilitate bushfire recovery efforts?
No. The Bushfire Recovery Clause provides that works can be constructed or carried out, provided that: – the works are only constructed or carried out for bushfire recovery – the works are completed prior to 31 March 2010. Again, the written authorisation of Council is also required in circumstances where the land is subject to any of the overlay controls listed in question 3 above. An example of works undertaken to facilitate bushfire recovery efforts includes earth works undertaken to clear the land rubble or debris caused by the recent bushfires.
