Bushfire Danger Period Ends
Date: 28-Mar-08
Author: Cessnock City Council
Fire permits will no longer be required for burning activities after 31 March 2008, as the statutory Bushfire Danger Period in the majority of the Local Government Areas within the Hunter Region ends.
The regulations still require people to notify neighbouring land owners and land management authorities 24 hours prior to burning, as well as taking appropriate action to ensure containment and control of the fire so it doesn't escape and cause damage.
A Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificate may be required. The RFS can assist private property owners in bushfire prone areas with this by providing free environmental assessment and certificate issuing services.
