Get the trees back : NSW minister wanted clearance zone around highways after bushfires

“I am writing to instruct you in your role as secretary for Transport for NSW to establish a ‘clearance zone’ around all state-managed highways, by ensuring trees within 40 metres either side cannot obstruct vital road access,” Constance wrote. He pointed to two examples where fallen trees led to delays after the fires, including in January 2020 following blazes on the state’s south coast, where Constance is a local MP. He wrote that “many evacuees [were] waiting for over 10 hours to evacuate due to fallen trees and spot fires causing delays”. “Many were required to sleep in their cars, tired and hungry, many with small children – waiting for the road to reopen.”
