🔥 Thinking of burning off? Don’t forget your permit! 🔥
The restricted burning season commenced on the 9th of October and will run through to the 20th of November subject to weather conditions.
If you’re planning a burn in the townsite, please remember the Shire does not issue “next day burn permits”, therefore you need to allow time if applying to burn over a weekend.
If your property is outside the town boundaries, permit requests should be directed to your local Fire Control Officer (FCO) listed in the orange Emergency Information and Bushfire Control 2025/2026 flip book. This information is also available on the Shire website HERE
Plan ahead and stay safe this burning season.
