list is subject to change. If there is any doubt please contact the
Bushfire/Natural Hazards Section.
3. Pile
burn construction
3.1 Material
that is to be burnt must only be
vegetation from the vicinity, not household or building material
such as plastics, wooden pallets or cardboard boxes.
3.2 Construct
long and wide piles rather than excessively high piles. A good size for piles is 0.5 metres high and
2 metres wide or long; maximum height should not exceed 1.5 metres. Piles that
are too big produce too much heat which means that only seeds near the cooler
edges survive and germinate.
3.3 No
soft weeds such as tradescantia, grasses, chick weed, etc, should be added to a
pile burn. These are most effectively disposed of by composting.
3.4 Weeds
such as lantana, privet, coils of morning glory, olive and other woody weeds
are suitable. All noxious weeds must be treated as per the Noxious Weeds Codes,
which the agency requesting the burn should observe and implement.
3.5 Logs,
dead sticks, etc, should not be added to piles – instead these should be laid
on the ground to prevent erosion and provide habitat for micro fauna.
3.6 Locate
piles away from overhanging branches that may ignite.
3.7 Locate
piles away from overhanging power lines or telephone cables.
3.8 Locate
piles away from large dead logs, whether standing or on the ground.
3.9 Locate
piles away from trees, cliffs, rock outcrops, etc.
3.10 If
practical, place vegetation in an area where it will receive direct sunlight to
allow the pile to dry out.
3.11 Immediately
prior to lighting piles they should be disturbed to scare away lizards, snakes,
etc, which may be taking refuge beneath the pile.
4. General
requirements
Before
conducting a pile burn the Officer-in-Charge must:
·
check with the Operational Commander, Country Inspector
or Zone Commander to ensure that the appliance can be taken off line
·
ensure the pile burn can be contained and controlled
·
be confident that it will not cause an air pollution
problem by producing excessive amounts of smoke
·
check if a no burn day has been declared
·
check if a total fire ban is in force; and
·
check the expected weather conditions.
