Permit requests must be made in writing to info@joondalup.wa.gov.au and will be assessed on an individual basis. The City is under no obligation to issue a permit to burn.
When assessing requests, the City will take into consideration:
- size of the land
- objectives of the burn
- experience of burn operators
- the plan for how the burn will be conducted including risk assessment, traffic management, smoke considerations, weather conditions and environmental impacts.
If a total fire ban has been declared by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), any burning permits issued to residents or landowners are fully suspended until the ban is lifted. Total fire bans can be checked by visiting Emergency WA Warnings and Incidents website.
