MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1102

Firebreaks - Tharwa Drive

Mr Westende - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning -

What precautions are being taken to protect young trees planted along Tharwa Drive, among. other places, from destruction by fire due to the high grass surrounding these trees.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

In. relation to the trees along Tharwa Drive, City Parks is mowing a fire break between the road and the trees as well as between the trees and the rear of properties along the road. This is the general policy for similar situations around Canberra. This provides a reasonable level of protection for small trees like these.
