Fire bans: Park Fire Ban

A Park Fire Ban is in place in this park and remains in effect unless otherwise extended or removed. During Park Fire Ban periods, all campfires and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted, as long as:

• They are under the direct control of a responsible adult, who is present at all times during operation
• The area within two metres of the barbecue is cleared of all flammable materials
• There is a ready supply of water adequate to extinguish all flames (minimum of a bucket)

If a Total Fire Ban is in place, different rules apply. Contact the Barwon Area office on (02) 6792 7300 before bringing a gas or electric barbecue or cooker.
Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information about fire bans in parks and reserves, including your responsibilities, visit the NSW National Parks fire safety page.
