Firewood collection areas closed on Friday 30 June.
Now that this date has passed, you cannot legally collect firewood from state forests and public land.
Penalties apply if you are caught collecting firewood outside the designated collection seasons or areas.
Firewood collection areas will reopen in spring on Friday 1 September.
Remember, wood that has been collected now or during spring needs at least a year to dry before it can be used in the fireplace.
