A short guide to wood-burning heaters and how to use them effectively.
The Code of practice for environmentally responsible wood
heater use has been developed to address the issue of wood
smoke, its odour, and its impact on the community and the environment.
This Code prohibits the supply and sale of wood heaters that do
not comply with current Australian and New Zealand emission standards.
It also promotes responsible and efficient wood heater use and
provides a process for neighbours and administering agencies (such
as councils) to deal with heaters that are causing smoke or odour
nuisance.
