Burning off in the open air (including using incinerators), is prohibited by Council's Community Local Law unless a permit is first obtained from Council.
A permit can be obtained by filling out the relevant application form and returning to Council. Please choose the appropriate form depending on whether you are proposing to burn off in a residential or commercial area.
The materials to be burned will be inspected by a Council Officer before a permit is granted. Please note, a permit will not be issued to burn green waste, this can be disposed of at Council's landfill sites.
Non-burnable bulk waste will need to be disposed of in landfill.
If you intend to burn off during the Declared Fire Danger period, or in a rural area please contact CFA District 18 Headquarters in Swan Hill on 1800 820 118.
