Contact Kate via her blog if you are now unable to build on your land in Australia, due to the new Bushfire Management Overlay.
“I am leading a lobby group to a) change the Planning Provisions so that current landholders aren’t prohibited from building their homes OR b) landholders are compensated in full for the loss of the value of their land which, under the BMO, becomes unusable and unsaleable. As landholders we want to build to the highest fire standard and protect human life.
We are NOT against building to safety regulations, we are against legislation that prevents our right to build a home on our own property.”
