Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation Rangers will conduct prescribed burn operations between 7th June and 30th June 2024 as part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests.

These burns are being undertaken to help protect life and property in the event of a wildfire.

The K’gari Grassy Headlands includes Tukkee Wurro (Indian Head), Champagne Pools and Waddy Point Headlands.

As a result, smoke may be seen in these areas and in the vicinity of Orchid Beach, beach camping zones 7 (Wyuna, Burad), and zone 8 (Marloo, Ocean Lake, Duling). Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating the effects of smoke inhalation.

Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorist drive safely to the conditions. 

Your safety is our concern, but your responsibility.

Please monitor park alerts on the department's website for updated information.

Please observe all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and do not enter closed areas.
