Three Chain Road Fire Risk Mitigation Action Plan

This plan sets out a range of roadside management actions aimed at mitigating fire risk while protecting and enhancing roadside conservation values along the length of Three Chain Road from Carlsruhe to Lancefield.

Key actions include:

  • modifying Council’s roadside slashing program to include a full width slash of low conservation value roadside sections
  • increased weed control
  • ecological thinning
  • ecological burning
  • native grass introductions
  • roadside signage
  • community engagement.

It was prepared in collaboration with the CFA, Landcare and adjoining property owners with funding from the Victorian Government’s Safer Together Program.
