Be aware of your burn

Burning wood can have significant impacts on the environment.

Below you can find helpful tips to reduce smoke pollution: 

• Good wood storage – keep it dry and well-ventilated. 

• Go with the glow – overfilling your heater can promote excess smoke, so stack several smaller logs loosely so air can circulate.

• Choose your wood – dry, seasoned wood is best

for burning.

You can read all the tips below.

We’re offering funding for residents, who would like to beautify their street by using plants, lawn, mulch and more, to improve the look of their verge with the verge incentive fund.

You can apply for half of the cost of developing your verge, up to the value of $500.

Please note that all verge developments require council approval, which forms part of

the rebate application process.
