Fire pit ban a hot topic

KINGSTON residents are being asked to have their say about the ban on fire pits currently in place.

Under current local law, residents are prohibited from lighting fires in backyards without a permit. Fires cannot be lit in a structure to create heat outdoors, outdoor fires must not affect neighbours through smoke and odour, and brick-built structures like barbecues must be put in a place where they will not impact on neighbours.

Council is now considering changing these laws.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said “we want to know your thoughts on the potential environmental and health impacts of fire pits, we also want to know if the relaxation and enjoyment warrants the proposed change.”

“Many people may not be aware that under the city’s current regulations, residents cannot light a fire on their own property to create heat outdoors without a permit. However, it is important to note there are exceptions to these rules, which currently allow for outdoor cooking on barbeques and in pizza ovens. 

“We really value the community’s input and won’t be making a final decision on this until after Kingston residents have had an opportunity to provide us with feedback.”

Visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au to provide feedback. Mail feedback to PO Box 1000, Mentone 3194. Consultation closes Friday, 18 December.
