Current burning period

We are currently in a RESTRICTED BURNING period effective Monday 1 April to Saturday 30 May, unless advised otherwise.

Currently permits are unavailable until further notice due to weather conditions. One (1) pile of garden refuse, up to 1 square metre in size, may be burnt between 6pm and 11pm without a permit, but only if all of the following conditions are met:

  • Only one pile may be burnt at a time.
  • The fire must be completely extinguished by midnight. This means no heat, smoke, steam, or white ash should remain.
  • An adequate water supply must be available and capable of reaching the pile, and beyond, in case the fire escapes.
  • Burning is not allowed if:
    • The Fire Danger Rating is High or above, or
    • The wind speed exceeds 15 km/h.
  • An able-bodied adult must be present at all times while the fire is burning.

 Any burning outside of these conditions requires a Permit to Burn.
