This alert applies to the following park:
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) have undertaken safety assessments and repairs following Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Several facilities within Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park and Moreton Island Recreation Area are now considered safe and will be reopened to visitors from Saturday 22nd March 2025.
Due to ongoing safety issues and wet, boggy conditions, the following tracks and facilities will remain CLOSED until further notice:
Camping areas closed:
- Comboyuro Point camping area; and
- North-east camping zone.
Roads closed:
- Blue Lagoon day use area vehicle access track; and
- Tailor Bight Road.
Blue Lagoon is accessible via the Blue Lagoon camping area.
Severe erosion has occurred along the exposed beaches making traversing challenging. Motorists are advised to use caution and travel at a reduced speed to avoid hazards such as steep sand dunes, hidden banks, fallen trees and large debris.
Beach travel is recommended two hours either side of low tide. Beach travel three hours either side of high tide should be avoided.
Driving over vegetated dunes is not permitted despite beach and track conditions. Fines apply for anyone driving or parking on vegetated dunes.
The extreme tides have deposited large amounts of rubbish and potential hazardous material. For your safety, please avoid any material and prevent children from playing near it.
Erosion of the dunes along Eastern Beach has created steep, unstable sand dunes which can collapse without warning. For your safety:
- Never climb or dig into sand dunes;
- Avoid standing, sitting or parking near the base of the dunes; and
- Supervise children closely and DO NOT allow them to play on or near dunes.
Observe all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and do not enter closed areas.
