The 2025 Unrestricted Burning Season is coming to an end, with the Shire of Denmark entering the Restricted Burning Period tomorrow, Saturday 1 November.
During the Restricted Burning Period, which extends until 15 December, residents and visitors to the Shire of Denmark cannot light an outdoor fire without a Permit to Burn. Camp and cooking fires are permitted during this time under specific conditions detailed in this year’s Firebreak and Property Management Notice.
Permits to Burn are issued by local Fire Control Officers and are subject to strict conditions.
To apply for a Permit to Burn, residents must make their request at least 3 days prior to the planned date of the burn.
The shift to the Restricted Burning Period marks the approach of bushfire season, with the beginning of November kicking off with a community preparedness weekend organised by Denmark Bushfire Ready.
Commencing today, Friday, 31 October, and running through the weekend to Sunday, 2 November, community members are encouraged to attend the fourth annual Bushfire Ready Weekend, which is packed with events, activities, and family-friendly fun designed to provide educational opportunities about bushfire preparedness.
