Local Laws – Fire Prevention

The lighting of any fire in the open, is strictly prohibited without a Permit. (properly constructed BBQ's excepted)

 

Applications for Permits should be directed to Council's Municipal Fire Prevention Officer at the Municipal Offices during office hours.

The Country Fire Authority will be conducting their Summer 'Fire Preparedness' workshop program before the 2010/11 fire season. The times, dates and locations will be announced later in the year.

The Country Fire Authority website www.cfa.vic.gov.au is a great place where property owners can:

  • prepare a home fire plan,

  • do a risk assessment of their property,

  • contact the Country Fire Authority to have someone from the Country Fire Authority to come out and look at their property (by appointment only),

  • get information pertaining to community workshops and activities, as well as many other things associated with fire preparedness.
