Domestic Bonfires, BBQs, and Firepits

The burning of material in domestic premises should be undertaken with care to minimise the disruption or harm to neighbours and the local community.

There are no explicit laws prohibiting domestic bonfires and the like, but the council can take enforcement action if they give rise to a statutory nuisance. The Police can also prosecute if smoke crosses a highway.
