This plan explains how Council manages trees and vegetation near powerlines to keep the community safe, reduce bushfire risk and ensure a reliable electricity supply. It outlines Council’s legal responsibilities, inspection and pruning programs, and the standards that guide this work, while also recognising and protecting significant, heritage and environmentally important trees wherever possible. It also describes how and when the community is notified about planned works, how concerns or disputes can be raised, and how Council monitors contractors and performance to ensure the program is carried out safely, responsibly and in accordance with Victorian electricity safety requirements.
