Current burning period

Permits will not be available as the Fire Danger Ratings are forecast to be High through to 1 December 2025. From 1 December 2025 until 31 March 2026 (unless extended), we enter the PROHIBITED burning period.

Permit to Burn

No burning is allowed—permit or not—on days when the Fire Danger Rating is High or above.

Burning without a Permit

Residents may burn one (1) pile of garden refuse, up to 1 square metre, between 6 pm and 11 pm without a permit, provided all of the following conditions are met:

• Only one pile may be burnt at a time.
• The fire must be fully extinguished by midnight (no heat, smoke, steam or ash).
• An adequate water supply must be available and capable of reaching the fire and beyond in case of escape.
• An able-bodied adult must be in attendance at all times.

Burning is not allowed, and Permits are void if:

• The Fire Danger Rating is High or above, or
• The wind speed exceeds 15 km/h.

Any burning outside of these conditions requires a  permit to burn
