Did you know there are changes to domestic and outdoor burning rules in Marlborough to help improve our air quality?
The Council’s ‘Burning Guides’ have had a refresh and an update to increase awareness of these new management measures which are contained in the Proposed Marlborough Environment Plan (PMEP). Four new guides have been produced. Two are on domestic wood burning – a summary of the rules and a guide on the best way to operate your burner. The other two cover outdoor burning – a fact sheet and a best practice guide.
