Last year I decided to sell some of the lots. One block was a bush block. After the worst storm in our area some years ago, big fallen trees made it nearly impossible to inspect the property. I asked NSC if I can call professional tree clearer to remove the uprooted trees. The answer was NO. You must first come forward with a building application and then you are allowed to clear the house side. Removal of fallen trees will not be allowed as they are part of the habitats of animals. Obviously this young fellow was on a power trip. He even didn't listen to my question concerning the increased bushfire risk. I asked him why state authorities see the necessity to burn off forests and private people living under similar conditions are not allowed to do the same? No answer. He also denied the right to clear the fence line so I can build a fence. His last remark was "don't touch anything". Is his behaviour backed up by NSC?
