The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) will be conducting a planned burn in the Bunya Mountains National Park this week to reduce the risk and intensity of bushfires.<\/p>\n

The burn is schedule for Tuesday and Wednesday (March 4-5), weather permitting.<\/p>\n

A QPWS spokesperson said smoke may be seen in the nearby areas.<\/p>\n

“If visiting Bunya Mountains National Park, observe all signs, barriers, and directions from QPWS Rangers and never enter closed areas,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Avoid driving through smoke where possible and be aware of firefighters working in the area.<\/p>\n

“These burns aim to mitigate the risk and intensity of bushfires and their potential impacts on communities, infrastructure, parks, and forests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They are also vital in promoting ecological health, biodiversity, and the conservation of species and habitats.<\/p>\n

“Planned burns are highly weather-dependent, generally requiring milder conditions and minimal wind.<\/p>\n

“These same weather conditions can also allow smoke to accumulate and linger until weather conditions change and winds assist in dispersing the smoke.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
