SMOKE ALERT
QPWS Planned Burn - Magnetic Island National Park
15th - 19th June 2026

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife (QPWS) planned burn on Magnetic Island scheduled between the 9th and 12th of June has been postponed.

The next planned burn on Magnetic Island National Park as part of annual fire management operations will take place on a suitable day between the 15th and 19th of June, subject to weather and operational conditions. QPWS will be working with other agencies including Horseshoe Bay Rural Fire Service to achieve this planned burn which will involve aerial ignition.

Residents with property adjacent to national park please ensure the fire access tracks behind your property are clear of any rubbish or obstructions including vehicles. Never dump garden waste on the fires access track or in the national park. QPWS Rangers require access to these tracks throughout the year especially during the planned burn and wildfire seasons.

The aim of this burn is to maintain a healthy forest environment and reduce the potential threats from bushfires in periods of dangerous fire weather.

Fire is important in many of Queensland’s natural ecosystems to maintain the diversity of native plants and animals. Fire plays a vital role in maintaining these ecosystems through releasing nutrients, encouraging seed germination and providing ideal conditions for growth.

Please see attached Smoke Alert for an updated map of the planned burn area. This map is indicative only, with just a portion of the landscape is burnt at any one time. This helps to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas that increases the opportunity for safer and more successful response to bushfires while supporting plant regeneration and protecting important habitat for wildlife.

Observe all signage, barriers and directions from QPWS Rangers and do not enter closed areas.
