Under the lease conditions or Memorandum of Provisions (MOP), solid fuel heaters are not allowed in these areas. To install a solid fuel heater in these areas, you must have written approval from the Territory.
In all other areas, you must make sure any chimneys, flues or vents follow section 1.27 of the Regulation.
