Our roadsides are an important part of our landscape and provide much needed habitat for wildlife.
We regularly assess roadside vegetation for safety and undertake weed control where required.
Native vegetation along roadsides is protected by planning regulations that restrict its removal in Victoria.
Landowners are not permitted to destroy or remove vegetation without prior planning approval from us.

You cannot collect firewood from roadsides. However, there are places where you can legally collect wood during autumn and spring.
