Burning off and fire restrictions

Permits to burn

During the fire danger period, if you wish to burn on your property, a permit to burn must be applied for.

A permit to burn is only issued for agricultural purposes, to assist farmers in the removal of grass and stubble.

Total fire ban days

You are not permitted to burn, even if you have a permit from the CFA.
