Wellington North Reviews its Burn Bylaw

Wellington North is going to review its Burn Bylaw with a view to making it more flexible.

Mayor Andy Lennox, who proposed the review, says for example that allowing larger burns in rural areas may be preferable to smaller slower-burning fires.

Councillor Lisa Hern says she has heard concerns about the bylaw, which is "confusing".

Councillor Dan Yake says the present burn bylaw seems to be working just fine.
