food and drink barbecues and grillingCan I light a fire in my backyard?
If you're lighting a fire purely for comfort, you can't use wood. All comfort fires, like chimeneas and fire pits, need to use charcoal. If you're using the flame for cooking food, wood is ok.
Regarding this, is it legal to have fire in your backyard?
“If you are burning in your backyard and you've dug a pit in your yard and you've put cement blocks around it, you're burning illegally,” said Paul. Rule two: fires must be at least 15 feet from a house, garage, low-hanging branches or anything else that will burn. Rule three: you can't leave them.
People also ask, can I light a fire in my backyard NSW?
Backyard burning and unauthorised incineration are prohibited at all times in all council areas in the Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle regions, and in other NSW council areas listed in Schedule 8 of the Clean Air Regulation.
You need a fire permit for the burning of vegetation at all times during a declared Fire Permit Period regardless of the weather conditions. You do not need a permit for barbecues, campfires or incinerators provided you comply with the conditions associated with their use.
