INFORMATION SHEET Box Ironbark Domestic Firewood Licence System No. 3 Firewood Collection Agents & Community Firewood Supply Areas

Nominating an Agent to Collect Firewood For customers who are unable or choose not to collect their own firewood from Box-Ironbark State Forests, an agent may be nominated to collect the firewood on their behalf.

Customers must purchase their own firewood licence and pass the details onto their nominated agent. Customers must make their own arrangements with their nominated agent to collect their firewood.

A paid nominated agent is required to have a current Forest Operators Licence. Details of the paid agent and their Forest Operators Licence number must be provided on the customer’s Firewood Licence Application Form.

Customers may wish to contact one of the following forest operators who all have a current Forest Operator Licence. This list is not exclusive, and customers may wish to contact others:
