Burning of Garden Refuse and Rubbish
The Burning of Garden Refuse Pursuant to the powers contained in section 24G (2) of the Bush Fires Act 1954, the Shire of Mt Marshall prohibits the burning of all garden refuse within its district during the Prohibited Burning Times. This prohibition applies to all persons within the Shire's district.
- The burning of garden refuse or rubbish on the ground that would otherwise be permitted under Section 24F is prohibited absolutely on all land within the district during the Prohibited Burning Period.
Garden refuse and rubbish may be burnt at any time, day or night, in a properly constructed incinerator designed to prevent the escape of sparks or burning material.
During the restricted burning period garden refuse and rubbish burnt on the ground may be burnt only between the hours of 6 o’clock in the evening and 11 o’clock of the same day and must be completely extinguished no later than midnight on that day.
