South Burnett Regional Council advises residents that QFES has issued a permit to the lease holder to undertake a hazard reduction burn at the Kingaroy Aerodrome after 2pm on Friday 11 July 2025 or Saturday 12 July 2025 dependant on weather.

Smoke may affect the Taabinga Village Estate and the southern side of Kingaroy during this time.

Residents and businesses around the burn area are reminded to take the following precautions:

• Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering homes
• Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns
• Retract pool covers to prevent ember damage
• Remove washing from clothes lines
• Ensure pets have a protected area
• Vehicles must slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on
• Sightseers must keep away from the burn zone for their own safety

If you have asthma or other breathing difficulties, reduce outdoor activities. If shortness of breath or coughing develops, take advised medical precautions or seek medical advice.

These operations are carried out by qualified and experienced operators.
