The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting a planned burn within McEuen State Forest on Tuesday (August 11), weather permitting.
This is part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests.
As a result, smoke may be seen in the Wondai area, especially in Grant and McLucas crescents and Old Wondai Road.
The aim of the burn 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.
For more information, contact the Kingaroy office of QPWS on (07) 4160-0780.
