Under proposed new laws, people with homes in a bushfire zone will be able to clear trees within 10 metres of their house. They will also be able to clear shrubs and other vegetation, except for trees, within 50 metres of their home. The new rules will also apply to non-residential buildings in designated bushfire zones. Morning Show Host, Barry (Mac) McCaffery spoke this morning with State Member Gareth Ward about the proposal & followed on by interviewing VFFA Vice President, Brian Williams, regarding these new changes.
