Council no longer issue permits for single days, instead a season permit will be issued with the permit holder having the requirement to lodge their intention to burn through Council’s online burning notification portal. Link to portal.

To ensure you obtain a permit prior to your intended burn date, please allow up to 48 hours for Council to receive, assess, and issue the Schedule 9 Broadacre Burning Permit.

It is imperative that prior to lodging your notification to burn, a Schedule 9 Broadacre Burning Permit is obtained from Council through the online platform.

You need to ensure you are familiar with, and can adhere to, the prescribed and local conditions (as detailed in the Permit Application) to be eligible to receive a Schedule 9 Broadacre Burning Permit.


Relevant CFS, SAPOL, and Council staff will be notified by Email, SMS or through the Todays Burn page, of your notification.

For more information regarding burning please call one of our offices.
