The statutory bush fire danger period ended on 31 March across the Southern Tablelands. Landholders can now light a fire to burn a pile or undertake an agricultural burn without acquiring a permit.
However landholders wishing to light a fire are still required to notify their neighbours at least 24 hours before lighting the fire. They are also required to notify the RFS at least 24 hours before lighting the fire. The preferred method is to submit the online notification at this link: https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fire-permits/burn-notifications
They may also call the Yass RFS office during business hours on (02) 6226 3100.
Special care should be taken if the proposed burn is located adjacent to a smoke sensitive industry such as wine growing.
