Where are Fire Permits Required?
The following table shows where the Bush Fire Danger Period has been declared and permits to burn are currently required for that area.
Please note that other restrictions, approvals and/or permits may apply to council areas where the Bush Fire Danger Period has not been declared.
For example, backyard burning is NOT permitted in many suburban areas due to Environmental Regulations and Council permission is required.
The document "Before you Light that Fire" (PDF 4347kb) outlines the approvals that may be required before carrying out any burns
