The Fire Danger Period will end in Golden Plains Shire at 1am on Monday 17 April 2023.
While the official Fire Danger Period will come to an end, Council encourages residents to remain vigilant about fire. If residents are planning to burn off their garden waste pile, they need to make sure they have:
• Checked the fire danger rating.
• Registered their burn off at firepermits.vic.gov.au or call 1800 668 511.
• Notified their neighbours.
• The means to immediately extinguish the fire.
Enjoy a morning out with family and friends at the Golden Plains Farmers’ Market from 8.30am to 12.30pm at the Corner of Milton and High Streets, Bannockburn on the first Saturday of the month.
The markets bring the freshest seasonal local produce, meats, gourmet products, flowers, crafts, artisan-made food sales, unique art and bespoke gifts.
Make sure you mark your Calendar with the upcoming 2023 Farmers’ Market dates: 6 May, 3 June, 1 July, 5 August, 2 September, 7 October, 4 November and 2 December.
• Cleared all around the burn pile.
• Ensure that the smoke from the fire does not cause a nuisance to nearby properties. A responsible adult must be in attendance of their burn offs at all times, and must ensure the fire is fully extinguished before leaving it unattended.
Residents are reminded that they cannot burn off offensive materials, including chemicals, rubber, plastic, petrol, oil, paint, treated timber, furniture or mattresses. To find out more visit: goldenplains.vic.gov.au/community
