Containment Line Remediation

This page has information about getting fire control lines (also known as containment lines or firebreaks) repaired on your property. NOTE: if you want this (and damaged fences) fixed you need to register.

Containment lines and fencing damage during firefighting

- If containment lines were graded or bulldozed on your property for the purposes of firefighting, you are likely to be eligible for having them 'smudged' back into place. Information and application forms here on the Forest Fire Management (FFMVic) Recovery After An Emergency webpage.
- This doesn't include re-seeding.
- NOTE: you have to apply to access this - a team will then visit you to confirm the damage and details. Once the application is approved, a contractor will visit to cost the works. They are in Gooram now so it's a good time to apply and be assessed.
- This application form also includes repair or rebuild of fencing that has been cut or damaged to provide access to emergency services for the purposes of firefighting.
