Land Clearing Albury-Wodonga
Block preparation and small-acreage clearing across Albury and Wodonga, worked to permit lines and aware of the planning controls that apply on both sides of the border.
Clearing jobs around Albury-Wodonga cover a wide range — a quarter-acre Albury block that needs the footprint stripped ahead of a build, a rural block east of Wodonga where scrub has crept into the paddock over a dry decade, or a property near the floodplain that needs woody regrowth cleared for maintenance access. Each job starts with a walk so we know what's coming out, what stays, and where the permit lines sit.
Planning controls apply on both sides of the border, and they differ. AlburyCity has its own vegetation rules; the City of Wodonga runs a different set. Heritage overlays, protected native species and any tree meeting size thresholds can all stop a clearing job without prior approval. We won't take a saw to anything that needs sign-off until the council paperwork is sorted, and we'll point you at the right application if it hasn't been lodged yet.
Once the boundaries are confirmed, the clearing runs in sequence — knock down smaller scrub and regrowth first to open vehicle access, then take the larger trees within the permit footprint, chip everything that will go through the machine, and stockpile heavier trunk material to one side. Mulch can be left in piles, spread across the site, or trucked off depending on what the next contractor needs when they arrive.

Land Clearing FAQs
Do I need council approval to clear trees in Albury-Wodonga?
Likely yes, for anything beyond small scrub and exempt species. AlburyCity and the City of Wodonga each have their own rules, so the answer depends on which side of the border the work is on, the tree size, the species and any overlays on your title. We'll walk the block, flag what's protected, and point you to the right council form if a permit is needed before we start.
Can you do bushfire fuel reduction clearing near Albury-Wodonga?
Yes. Rural blocks on the edges of the twin cities and properties with tree cover on the flatter country east of Wodonga carry real fire risk. We work to defendable space principles — dropping ladder fuels, low scrub and overhanging canopy in the inner zone around the house. The result is a property that a fire truck can actually access and defend.
What happens to the mulch and timber from the clearing?
Default is chipping on site and leaving mulch in piles for you to use or spread. Heavier trunk material gets cut into rounds and either stacked along a fence for firewood or removed if you don't need it. We'll confirm your preference on the day rather than assume.
Can you work around protected trees during clearing?
Yes, and that's common on a Albury-Wodonga job that crosses a planning overlay. Trees that need to stay are marked before work starts and protected during the rest of the clearing. If a builder needs formal tree protection zones installed to a council standard, we can set those up to spec before machinery moves onto the block.
