Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will be undertaking planned burns within D'Aguilar National Park during appropriate weather opportunities over the coming months.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) conducts planned burns around the State to reduce the risk and intensity of bushfires and support a healthy environment.

As a result of the planned burn, smoke may be seen in the nearby areas.

Avoid driving through smoke where possible and be aware of firefighters working in the area.

These burns aim to mitigate the risk and intensity of bushfires and their potential impacts on communities, infrastructure, parks, and forests.

They are also vital in promoting ecological health, biodiversity, and the conservation of species and habitats.

Planned burns are highly weather-dependent, summer burns rely on high soil mositure to encourage natives to re-establish quickly.

Please follow the warnings and advise of any signs and any directions given by Rangers. 

If smoke affects you:

Stay indoors and close windows and doors; and
Keep respiratory medication close by.
Live air quality data, and information on smoke and dust health actions, can be found on the Queensland Government’s website https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/management/monitoring/air

You can stay updated with local QPWS fire activities by visiting Park Alerts or by following Qld Park Alerts on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Public safety is the highest consideration in all QPWS fire management activities. To find out more visit the Fire Management webpage.

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