How do I obtain a permit for a Council owned forest?

Council owns a number of forestry blocks throughout the District.

From time to time calls Council receives requests from people wishing to access these blocks to:

  • Tramp
  • Collect Firewood
  • 4-wheel drive/quad/trail bike
  • Horse Ride

All Permits are subject to officer discretion for the proposed activity.

Please allow five business days for a permit request to be assessed. Permits are not issued out of normal business hours.

Please note that no permits will be issued to collect firewood due to Health and Safety reasons.
