Rules around lighting fires in Hutt City
If you want to light an open fire you might need to apply for a fire permit from Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). To check whether you need a permit you can visit checkitsalright.nz.
If the place you want to light a fire is public conservation land, there may be extra restrictions or conditions for a fire permit.
You still need to comply with your local council burning restrictions, including any requirements relating to smoke nuisance and controls under the Resource Management Act - even if you are issued a fire permit by Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
