    Our Bendigo base. Your property.

    Bendigo based, working McKenzie Hill.

    Vegetation management for larger properties, farms and commercial land: mulching scrub, cutting grass, clearing access and preparing for fire season, with ongoing maintenance where needed. We're Bendigo based and assess travel to McKenzie Hill around the size and scope of the job. The working area, method and finish are agreed on-site before work begins.

    Castlemaine and the surrounding goldfields country carry more gorse than almost anywhere in the state. Gorse is a Weed of National Significance and a regionally controlled weed under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994, which means as a landowner in Mount Alexander Shire you have a legal responsibility to control it. Same story with blackberry and serrated tussock. Ironbark Vegetation Management handles the mechanical side, forestry mulching, land clearing, slashing and scrub removal, so you can get on top of a declared weed problem before council does.

    • 01Landowners must meet applicable declared-weed obligations and any notice requirements. Choose the control sequence from the species and site conditions; Ironbark assesses the mechanical component and chemical treatment is arranged separately where required.
    • 02Old goldfields country holds a lot of surprises under the scrub, mullock heaps, old shafts, buried fencing. We inspect the proposed work area before starting and agree controls for known hazards. Concealed shafts, fencing and other obstructions may remain undetected; affected work stops if an unidentified hazard is exposed.
    • 03We travel from Bendigo to Castlemaine, Chewton, Campbells Creek, Elphinstone, Harcourt, Guildford and Newstead. Job size and travel are assessed from the property address, not the shire boundary.
