Land access clearance is the removal of vegetation along property boundaries, fencelines and driveways to create safe, compliant access for emergency vehicles and reduce bushfire risk. In Western Australia, properties in bushfire-prone areas are legally required to maintain clear access paths under the Bush Fires Act 1954.
Perth Garden Rescue provides professional access clearance across the Perth Hills — from Mundaring to Bedfordale. We clear and maintain your property to meet local council requirements, fully insured with $20 million public liability cover.
Our clearance crews work on a day-rate basis so you only pay for the time your property needs:

Property owners must install a trafficable firebreak inside the entire property boundary. The firebreak must be 3 metres wide by 4 metres high with bare mineral earth, continuous with no dead ends. Firebreaks must be installed by 1 November and maintained until 30 April each year. Check with your local council as end dates may vary — some councils extend to 31 May.
A firebreak is a cleared strip of land around your property designed to slow or stop the spread of bushfire. In WA it must be at least 3 metres wide and 4 metres high, cleared to bare mineral earth, and trafficable by emergency vehicles. All properties in bushfire-prone areas are legally required to maintain firebreaks during fire season.
An Asset Protection Zone (APZ) is a fuel-reduced area extending 20 metres from any building on your property. Within this zone, fuel load must be no more than 2 tonnes per hectare, trees over 5 metres must be under-pruned to 2 metres, and gutters, roofs and walls must be free of flammable matter.
Firebreaks must be installed by 1 November and maintained through to 30 April each year, though some councils extend this to 31 May. Start maintenance in October to ensure you meet the deadline.
Failure to comply is an offence under the Bush Fires Act 1954. Local councils conduct inspections during fire season and issue infringement notices with fines. Beyond penalties, non-compliance puts your property and neighbours at serious risk.
Perth Garden Rescue charges $1,510 + GST per day for a 2-person crew working 6 hours. Most residential properties take 1 to 3 days depending on size, vegetation density and terrain. Greenwaste removal is quoted separately. We provide free site assessments so you know the estimated days and cost before we start.
Most residential access clearance is completed in 1 to 3 days depending on property size and vegetation. Our crews use professional hand tools — chainsaws, polesaws, extension hedgers and commercial whipper snippers — to clear efficiently. A free site assessment determines the exact scope and timeline for your property.
You can maintain your own clearance if you have the equipment and knowledge to meet compliance standards. However, professional clearing ensures the work meets exact council specifications, removes the risk of non-compliance fines, and avoids the safety hazards of working with heavy vegetation and steep terrain.
