Just a short note regarding burning off over the winter months…
You are permitted to burn off agricultural items such as diseased fruit tree etc in a pile.
However you need to:
1) Notify your neighbours at least 24 hours in advance;
2) Call Gosford District Rural Fire Service on 4340 2911or Wyong District
RuralFire Service on 4393 6222 and advise intent to burn items off and the day that you plan this. You should do this at least 24 hours in advance;
3) Have enough water nearby or onsite to address any fire issues that may start because of your pile burn.
Remember that it is your responsibility to contain any pile burns and products of pile burns on your property and under your control at all times.
