Guidelines to improve brush fence fire safety
Source: South Australia. Minister for Urban Development and Planning. Media Release.
"The State Government is introducing new regulations on the clearance between brush fences and homes in a bid to vastly improve fire safety and protect lives and property.
The changes only affect new homes or home additions and new brush fences. Urban Development and Planning Minister Paul Holloway says the changes – which have been urged by South Australia’s fire services – are designed to prevent any brush fence fire spreading to a home and endangering lives and property."
