Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation rangers will conduct a prescribed burn between 14 April 2024 and 31 May 2024, weather permitting, 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.

Smoke may be seen in the vicinity of the Figtree Creek, Garrys Anchorage, Dilli Village and Boonooroo. 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 motorists drive safely to the conditions. 

Please observe and adhere to all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and contractors, and do not enter closed areas or exclusion zones.

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