Frequently Asked Questions
What is excavation used for on rural properties?
Excavation is used to prepare land for farming, fencing, infrastructure, or building. It can include digging trenches, clearing vegetation, creating access tracks, or levelling uneven ground. For rural properties, excavation often supports drainage improvements, silage site preparation, or land clearing to expand usable areas. Having skilled operators ensures the work is done efficiently and safely, reducing the risk of erosion or long-term damage to the land.
How much does excavation cost per hour or job?
Excavation costs vary depending on the size of the job, the type of equipment required, and site conditions. Many contractors charge hourly rates that can range from $100 to $200 per hour, while larger projects may be priced per job. Factors such as rocky terrain, limited access, or extra machinery can increase costs. It’s always best to request a detailed quote so costs are transparent before work begins.
Do I need council approval for excavation work?
In most cases, general excavation for fencing, farming, or small-scale property improvements does not require council approval. However, approval may be needed for major earthworks, building foundations, or projects near waterways, roads, or protected land. Local council regulations vary, so it’s recommended to check specific requirements before starting excavation. This ensures compliance and avoids delays.
