At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday 13 December 2023 council endorsed to place the policy for Burning of Vegetation within the Local Government Aera public exhibition for a minimum of 28 days.

This Policy provides a framework for the consideration of proposal for the burning of cut and stacked vegetation (pile burn) within the Armidale Regional Council Local Government Area. The current Policy for Burning of Vegetation within the Local Government Area was adopted by Council on 28 April 2021 and has existed in various forms since 2012.

Council’s Regulatory Services team proposes minor administrative changes to the existing Policy which includes the year of the legislation, relevant sections and clauses and the streamlining of text to simplify reading and comprehension of the document. The NSW Rural Fire Service or NSW Fire and Rescue were consulted in the review of the policy.

Submissions are invited and must be addressed to the General Manager, Armidale Regional Council, PO Box 75A, Armidale, NSW 2350, or sent by email to council@armidale.nsw.gov.au

Submissions must be received by 11.59pm Sunday 21 January 2023.

Please be aware that if you make a submission, other people may have access to your comments. This may be as a result of a report to a Council meeting or as part of an application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Also, under State legislation, any person making a submission on a Draft LEP amendment must also disclose whether they or an ‘associate’ have made a ‘reportable political donation’ or gift to a local Councillor or Council employee within the period commencing two years before any submission is made and ending when the Draft LEP is determined. Further details including disclosure forms are available on request from Council.
