What doesn't need a permit?
You can still enjoy:
- Outdoor BBQs.
- Pizza ovens.
- Fire pits.
Just ensure the area around them is clear of flammable material and that embers cannot escape and ignite nearby vegetation.
Heading bush?
If you're camping in areas managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), additional rules may apply, including restrictions on campfire use and designated fire pits.
