Total Earthworx delivers land clearing for developers, wineries, agribusiness operators and rural and commercial landowners across the Barossa Valley and regional South Australia, clearing to plan and leaving the block build-ready.

Land Clearing & Native Vegetation Approval

Clearing native vegetation in South Australia is regulated under the Native Vegetation Act, and most clearing needs approval from the Native Vegetation Council unless an exemption applies. Development-related clearing is often assessed alongside the planning approval for the project itself. We work to approved clearing scopes and can point you in the right direction on what your site needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in land clearing?

Land clearing covers vegetation and scrub removal, stump grinding, and management of the cleared material (mulched on site or removed), finishing with a grade so the block is ready for its next stage.


Do I need approval to clear vegetation in South Australia?

Most native vegetation clearing in SA requires approval from the Native Vegetation Council unless an exemption applies. Talk to us about your site and we'll confirm what's needed before clearing starts.


Can you clear vineyard blocks?

Yes. We clear ahead of new plantings and vineyard redevelopment for wineries and viticulture properties across the Barossa.


Do you remove the cleared material or leave it on site?

Either. We can mulch material on site or remove it, depending on what suits your site and any council requirements.


How is land clearing priced?

Pricing depends on block size, vegetation density and access. We assess the site and quote against the specific job rather than a flat rate.
