This alert applies to the following park:

Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting its annual aerial burning program on Townsville Scenic Rim and the Mount Elliot section of Bowling Green Bay National Park for the month of March 2023. The aim is to reduce the volume of grass fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas. This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires and provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration. Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions.

Please monitor park alerts for updates
