Current Law

In the current Local Law, the use of firepits for warmth and recreation is banned however currently they can be used for the purpose of cooking food.

Proposed idea

Firepits can be readily purchased from retailers and are already used by many households across the municipality.

This idea seeks to allow the use of residential firepits for recreational purpose.

From time-to-time Council does receive complaints about the use of residential firepits and wood heaters, around the emission of smoke and reduction in air quality. If firepits are allowed, only clean and dry wood can be burnt and should not be used excessively to create a nuisance to neighbouring properties.
