You do not need a permit (Authority) to collect firewood in the south-west. However, collecting firewood is only permitted in designated areas.

If the designated firewood collection area falls within a Phytophthora dieback Disease Risk Area (DRA), an approval to enter DRA will be required. A DRA will be identified on your firewood collection area map. Your local DBCA office will be able to issue approval to enter a DRA. This approval includes conditions of entry which must be followed.

For more information, please contact your local district office.
