Land clearing and contour bank construction

Our land clearing services help prepare rural sites for further agricultural earthworks and access. We also shape contour banks to manage surface runoff across suitable farm terrain. Clearing limits, existing vegetation, fall and bank alignment are considered when defining the works. Any permissions for vegetation removal or works near waterways must be established for the property. Land clearing services for rural properties can create workable access and prepare an area for later excavation, farm infrastructure or ground shaping. Before work, the area to be cleared and the reason for clearing should be defined. Existing vegetation, terrain, access and nearby infrastructure can affect the approach. The project owner should also confirm whether vegetation controls or other approvals apply, rather than assuming every area can be cleared. Contour bank construction is a different but related form of agricultural earthworks. Contour banks are shaped to manage surface water movement across suitable land, and their placement depends on the property terrain and the intended drainage approach. We discuss existing slopes, proposed bank alignments, work areas and the movement of excavated soil before agreeing on a scope. Any required drainage design or watercourse permission must be established for the specific project. Our operated machinery can also support ground preparation after clearing, where the work involves excavation and shaping that falls within the agreed scope. Where a project includes new farm tracks, shed cutouts, drainage routes or dam earthworks, our other services may complement the initial clearing and contour work. For an enquiry, provide the property location, approximate affected area, photographs if available and details of access. AusTrench Pty Ltd considers suitable agricultural projects across Western Queensland and New South Wales, including work up to 600 km west and 600 km south, and supplies equipment with an operator, not for dry hire.
