Current burning period
The Prohibited Burning Period for the Shire of Augusta Margaret River has been extended by two weeks and will apply until midnight, Tuesday 28 March 2023. No fires can be lit in open air during this period.
This means that fuel reduction burns, garden refuse burns, campfires, and firepits are prohibited. Wood and solid fuel BBQs and pizza ovens can only be used on days where the Fire Danger Rating is below ‘High’.
Please note: The above dates have come into effect seven days ahead of the original schedule due to seasonal conditions. Please monitor the Shire’s website and social media for updates and always call your area Fire Control Officer (FCO) or the Shire Rangers to check prior to lighting up.
