Smoke Nuisance
Smoke may be a nuisance in urban areas when produced in excessive quantities by impacting on neighbours and having negative health impacts.
The location and operation of solid fuel apparatus used for the purpose of cooking and heating is important so as not to create a smoke nuisance to neighbours.
For information on outdoor cooking and heating apparatus, including barbecues, pizza ovens, chimeneas, fire pits and wood heaters, visit: Outdoor Cooking and Heating Apparatus
