Victorians are encouraged to start preparing for the upcoming fire season and complete fire prevention works around their properties in regional Victoria.
The Victorian Government today announced a permit system whereby regional property owners from metropolitan Melbourne or any other restricted regions can apply to the relevant council where their second property is located for written formal approval to undertake fire preparedness of their properties.
Permits can be issued by local councils and effective from 11 October.
