In accordance with State Legislation a prescribed hazard reduction burn will be conducted on sections of the Canungra Field Training Area (Kokoda Barracks) which will generate smoke over the period 8th to 11th October 2024.
A smoke haze may be evident for days after the burn.
Planned hazard reduction burns are conducted for a range of purposes, including:
