Failure to notify Environment Canterbury prior to burning vegetation means that the conditions for a permitted activity have not been met and this will result in enforcement action being taken.

For more information on the Land and Vegetation Management Plan Part IV and the conditions for permitted activities please read the brochure (http://ecan.govt.nz/advice/your-land/outdoor-burning-fires/Documents/LandManagementHighCountryBurningMay08.pdf) or go to the Environment  Canterbury website.

 

Or call Neil MacDonald (south of the Rakaia River) on 03 687 7849, or Jo Abbott (north of the Rakaia River) on 03 363 9318 for general advice, or advice on a specific burn proposal.
