The verge is the strip of land between the property boundary and the road edge.
The City is required to comply with the Bushfire Act as it is either a landowner - or has care and control of State-owned land.
Whose job is it to trim naturally occurring trees near powerlines? Should the verge tree be a naturally occurring tree, under power lines, Western Power take responsibility for the pruning of these trees. Please contact Western Power on 13 13 51. More details here
