Firewood Collection

Firewood collection from roadsides is not permitted in the Surf Coast Shire. 

In Victoria you can only collect firewood at specific locations on public land. 

This is to protect remnant patches of biodiversity on our roadsides – help us protect these areas by only collecting your firewood from authorised areas.

See the Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) website for maps

Firewood for personal use can be collected from designated collection areas during the autumn and spring collection period.

Maps of collections are published on the FFMV website on 1 March (for autumn period) and 1 September (for spring collection period).
