Open Fire Season

No permit is required to light a fire in the open air.

You are, however, responsible for any consequences should the fire escape control.

 

Restricted Fire Season

A permit is required from a Rural Fire Authority to light a fire in the open air.  These generally exclude gas BBQs. 

A permit does not absolve you from responsibility.  You are responsible for any consequences should the fire escape control.

Prohibited Fire Season

Conditions are such that all fires are banned, even when a permit has been issued.
