Clearing for bushfire management
The Queensland Government’s vegetation clearing laws allow landholders to undertake a range of activities to deal with the threat or aftermath of a bushfire.
This guide explains the approval and notification requirements under vegetation and planning legislation.
In an emergency
During a bushfire emergency, follow the directions of the authorised fire officers.
You don’t need to get our approval or notify us before you undertake clearing that they have authorised or to help them deal with a dangerous situation. Find out more about clearing during an emergency .
