Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) are conducting planned burns in the Barretts Lagoon Road area of Gulngay National Park from Wednesday 4 November to Friday 6 December 2026

Smoke may be seen in the vicinity of Barretts Lagoon Rd and Rockingham Rd, Rockingham, during this time. Persons with respiratory or other health issues should stay indoors and seek medical advice on mitigating effects of smoke inhalation.

Planned burns are vital in promoting the 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.
