Local laws apply to res in open air

With the lifting of CFA re restrictions, we ask residents to consider the local law provisions for res in the open air.

In the case of land that is 2000m2 (1/2 acre) or less, a re may only be lit on any Wednesday or Sunday without a written permit from Council. A camp re or re used for cooking does not require a permit on any day.

Also, all res must be noti ed to the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) on 1800 668511 before lighting the re or emailing a burn-o noti cation form to burno s@ esta.vic.gov.au at least 2 hours before lighting the re.
