Burning off and fire danger period
No burning off in the Fire Danger Period
According to the CFA, the Fire Danger Period for Cardinia Shire will end on 1 May 2018. For more information on restrictions during the fire danger period go to the CFA website.
During the declared Fire Danger Period we will not issue a permit to burn. If you need a permit for an essential burn contact the CFA.
Alternatives to burning off
Instead of burning off, here are some better ways to get rid of green waste for you to consider:
- Our twice-yearly hard and green waste collection
- Our fortnightly green waste bin collection
- Use a compost bin (if you buy a compost bin, you can get a $30 rebate from us).
