Wood Smoke Reduction Program

The NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) Wood Smoke Reduction Program aims to assist local communities to raise awareness about the effects of wood smoke on health and the environment and the benefits of correct wood heater operation.

Smoke from wood heaters is a major source of air pollution. Not only is a smoking fire wasting your money, but the air pollution it causes can also affect our health. 

• Reduce smoke from your wood heater.
