  • Yeah right, I guess I am that one guy! Aparently lemmy’s MAUs recently broke the record set in June 2023 so there might be 3 of us now?

    I think the annual inspections of your fire breaks are a bit hit and miss. I know you could be fined if you haven’t done it.

    Like most council things maybe they only enforce it if your neighbour complains or something.

    I just asked my sister who has a farm and she said the ranger only does an inspection “if he can be bothered getting off his fat lazy arse” and “this guy I honestly think just does personal vendettas”.

    So make of that what you will.

    When you apply for a business use for a property that’s when they really put you through the grinder. Often you need to pay for a bushfire consultant to prep a Bushfire Management Plan, it can get really expensive. Assholes.









  • I think most risks are managed at the municipal level.

    Here in South West of Western Australia bush fires are a real risk. The risk is very well managed with properties in fire prone areas inspected for preparedness and penalties for those who aren’t prepared. You need portable water pumps and cleared fire breaks et cetera.

    We don’t have cyclones / hurricanes here so we don’t prepare for that.

    There’s not presently a significant risk of military action, but if that were to change I guess the govt would help people prepare, as is happening in France I guess.
