Current burning period
From 1 October, the Shire of Mundaring enters the RESTRICTED burning period.
Do I need a Permit to Burn?
Yes, a Permit to Burn is required.
Restrictions on Permits
Permits are available online or from your local brigade on Saturday mornings.
Due to below-average rainfall and dry soil conditions, the following restrictions apply:
• No running fires permitted.
• Permits are available for up to six 1m x 1m piles, between 10 am and midnight. Online permits are automatically approved.
• Bonfire permits are available between 5 pm and midnight and are issued at the discretion of the Permit Issuing Officer.
After 6 pm
One pile of garden refuse, up to 1 square metre in size, may be burnt between 6 pm and 11 pm without a permit, provided all of the following conditions are met:
- Only one pile is burnt at a time
- The fire is completely extinguished by midnight, with no remaining heat, smoke, steam or white ash
- An adequate water supply is available and capable of reaching the fire and surrounding area if the fire escapes
- An able-bodied adult is present at all times while the fire is burning.
With only one month until the compliance period begins, now is the time to ensure your property is prepared for the upcoming bushfire season. Please refer to the Firebreak and Fuel Load Notice for your property requirements.
