Please allow a minimum of four working days before your planned burn to complete this form.
During the Restricted Burning Period, a permit must first be obtained from a Shire authorised Fire Control Officer. A Permit to Burn will only be issued for legitimate mitigation outcomes or for primary producer requirements. A Permit to Burn will not be issued for social occasions, burning of rubbish, or for burning which can be reasonably deferred or avoided.
A Permit to Burn will have a maximum 7-day duration, with an exception for bona fide, broad acre stubble-burning crop preparation operations, which may be applied for a maximum duration of 28 days.
Fire Control Officers are not obliged to issue Permits to Burn and they may advise on alternatives to burning.
Please remember Fire Control Officers are volunteers and their availability to issue permits may vary, assist them by planning in advance.
Permits to Burn cannot be issued over the phone and should a Fire Control Officer refuse to issue a permit, it is a breach of the Bush Fires Act 1954 to request a permit from another Fire Control Officer.
Permits to Burn are only available during the Restricted Burning Times.
Be aware that you must be able to fulfill the following conditions before a permit will be issued to you:
