The bushfire danger period will run from September 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019.
During the bushfire danger period any person wishing to light a fire will require a permit issued by their local Rural Fire Service brigade captain.
Burning is prohibited on a total fire ban or when a no burn notice has been issued.
Things to remember:
- You need a fire permit if it's the bushfire danger period.
- Just because it's the bushfire danger period doesn't mean you can't use fire - but there are restrictions to ensure fire is used safely.
- Getting a permit is free and easy. Contact your local fire control centre.
There are heavy penalties if you don't follow restrictions or rules.
