• OPEN FIRE SEASON for the High Country Zone Ashburton Coastal, Timaru Coastal and Waimate Coastal zones
This now means the whole area of the Mid-South Canterbury district from the Rakaia River to the Waitaki River, sea to the Alps is in an open fire season.
No permits are required for burning, however there is still an expectation that all outdoor burning is conducted in a safe manner.

• Geraldine and Waimate Forest zones
A permit is required to light a fire in open air in these areas.
