Western Cedar Cladding - high maintenance?

Hi, I am completely new to this forum and really hoping to get some of your help :). I don't understand much of the building :C so I need as many opinions as possible. We are going to renovate and on one of the external walls I would like to put Western Cedar Cladding (stained one). It is quite expensive oppose to a Weatherboard but I like that timber structure. It's claimed that Western Cedar Timber doesn't need much maintenance but I've heard few people saying it does. Do you have to treat it somehow? How offen? Anyone has experience with this, what should I be aware of and any other suggestions??? Thank you, appreciate your replies.:brava
