This alert applies to the following park:

Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) will be conducting planned burn operations (weather permitting) in Grey Peaks National Park between Thursday 8 October and Monday 12 October 2026 (dates inclusive).

Smoke may be visible in the greater Cairns and Yarrabah area. Persons with respiratory or other health problems should seek medical advice on mitigating the effects of smoke inhalation.

Planned burns are vital in promoting ecological health, biodiversity, and the conservation of species and habitats. They also aim to mitigate the risk and intensity of bushfires and their potential impacts on communities, infrastructure, parks, and forests.

Public safety is the highest consideration in all QPWS fire management activities. To find out more visit the Fire management webpage.

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