How Much Does Firewood Cost in Perth?

Firewood prices in Perth vary based on several factors: the type of wood, quantity purchased, moisture content, and delivery distance. In 2026, you'll typically find prices ranging from around $288 per cubic metre for quality seasoned Jarrah firewood delivered to your door.

What Affects the Price of Firewood?

Wood Type

Jarrah is Perth's premium choice for firewood. This dense Western Australian hardwood burns hot, produces minimal smoke, and creates long-lasting coals, which is perfect for wood heaters and open fireplaces. You'll also find mixed-species blends (Jarrah combined with other hardwoods) at slightly lower prices and budget options that still deliver reliable heat.

Seasoning & Moisture Content

Properly seasoned firewood costs more than green wood, but it's worth every cent. Dry wood ignites faster, burns cleaner, and produces significantly more heat. The Firewood Association of Australia requires wood to be at least 75% dry, and quality suppliers ensure their stock meets this standard.

Quantity

Buying in bulk always saves money. A single 15- 20 kg bag from a service station might cost $12-$15, but purchasing a trailer load or bulk delivery reduces your per-kilogram cost by 30-40%. If you've got storage space, buying larger quantities makes good financial sense.

Seasonal Timing

Here's a money-saving tip: purchase your firewood during the summer. Prices can drop by 20-30% between January and March when demand is low. Buying early also gives the wood extra time to season in your yard before the first cold snap in May.

Comparing Your Options

When shopping for firewood in Perth, you'll encounter different measurement methods. Some suppliers sell by the "scoop" (a front-end loader bucket), while others sell by weight or cubic metres. This can make price comparisons tricky.

A standard scoop is roughly 0.5 cubic metres, but the actual weight varies depending on how tightly the wood is packed and its moisture content. A 6x4 trailer typically holds about 0.7 cubic metres, while an 8x5 trailer holds approximately 1.2 cubic metres.

Dry Jarrah weighs roughly 800- 1,000 kg per cubic metre. If someone claims a level 6x4 trailer load equals a full tonne, they're likely overestimating. Look for suppliers who provide clear measurements and, ideally, weighbridge dockets for bulk purchases.
