Following the recent improvement in conditions, a decision has been made to relax restrictions.
The York Shire will move into unrestricted burning from 2 April, with no permits required.
During April and May, all controlled burns should be:
- Logged with Comcen (1800 198 140), and
- Your local BFB group notified with a brief message
This helps keep everyone aware of activity in the area and ensures a quick response if needed.
Please note, if weather conditions change and there is concern about potential fire spread, a ban may still be imposed when required.
Contacts for the BFB can be found here: Contacts » Shire of York
