This alert applies to the following park:

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and Partnerships will be conducting planned burns in Woondum National Park from Wednesday 7 February through to Friday 31 August weather permitting, as part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests. As a result, smoke may be seen in the Cooran, Pomona, Kin Kin, Traveston, Tandur and Pinbarren areas. The aim of these burns is to reduce the volume of forest 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 observe signage, barriers, do not enter closed areas and follow direction from rangers. Safety is our concern but your responsibility.

Stay up-to-date with Current bushfire warnings and incidents from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES).
