18 December 2023
From 8am, the Central, Naseby, Upper Waitaki, Lakes, Glendhu Bluffs and Lake Ohau zones will be moving from a restricted to a prohibited fire season.
It means a total ban on open-air fires, and all previously granted fire permits, are suspended.
Fireworks will also be banned in these areas until further notice.
The Strath Taieri zone will move to a restricted fire season.
