The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service intends to conduct a planned burn in a section of Dularcha National Park. This burn is scheduled for the coming weeks, or as soon as weather conditions are favourable.

The entire national park, including all trails, will be closed for the duration and following the burn until an inspection has been carried out. 

Detailed information regarding the dates and associated closures will be posted as an additional Park Alert on the Department's website once this information is known. 

This burn is part of our hazard reduction and conservation management program for parks and forests estate. QPWS&P conducts burns to decrease wildfire risk for protection of the community.  Fire is also essential for the health of our native plant communities.

Smoke may be seen in the vicinity of national park during and after the burn. Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating the effects of smoke inhalation.

Commercial tour operators and other permit or agreement holders are not permitted to enter closed areas.

If you have any inquiries regarding the planned burn please contact QPWS&P at Maleny on 5494 3983.

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

The park will reopen when conditions are considered safe.

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