Permit to Burn

Permit to burn - Applications

During the Fire Danger Period (FDP) a Schedule 13 permit may be issued to an individual person under Section 38(1) of the Country Fire Authority Act 1958, to enable that person to burn off grass, stubble, weeds, scrub, undergrowth or other vegetation. Permits are usually issued to farmers late in the FDP to allow them to conduct stubble burning.

Applications for permits to burn for agricultural purposes are available online through the Fire Permits Victoria website here or at the link below:
