“Domestic firewood is a limited resource. Under Victorian legislation, firewood can only be collected from designated firewood collection areas of State Forests during the firewood collection season which runs from 1 March to 30 June, 2021, and 1 September to 30 November 2021,” Forest Fire Management Victoria's Hume deputy chief fire officer Aaron Kennedy said.
“Limits are in place to prevent households stockpiling large volumes of firewood from public land and denying others a supply.”
Any information community members may have about the illegal removal of firewood for sale can be reported to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on 136 186.
