Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service is doing a #HazardReductionBurn at the Moggill Conservation Park, #MoggillQld in the next few days.
Affected regions: #AnsteadQld #PullenvaleQld #PinjarraHillsQld #UpperBrookfieldQld #BrookfieldQld #MountCrosbyQld #KaranaDownsQld #BellbowrieQld
Maidenhead grid square: #QG62https://parks.qld.gov.au/park-alerts/26148
Planned Burn - Moggill Conservation Park
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) will conduct a planned burn in Moggill Conservation Park from Wednesday, 28 January 2026 to Monday, 02 February 2026, weather permitting, as part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program for parks and forests. As a result, smoke will be seen in Anstead, Pullenvale, Pinjarra Hills, Upper Brookfield, Brookfield, Mount Crosby, Karana Downs and Bellbowrie areas.
The following areas are restricted to the public during lighting operations and the following days; Centre Road, Pullen Creek Break, Hawksbury Road Break, Nursery Break, Acreage Break, Devils Break and St Peters Downfall. There will also be an increase on the amount of QPWS vehicles on these roads whilst firefighting activities and patrolling are taking place.
The aim of this 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 bushfire and provide favourable conditions for natural forest revegetation. Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorist drive safely to the conditions. Please observe signage and barriers and do not enter closed areas and follow directions from Rangers. Safety is our concern but your responsibility.
For more information, please contact The Gap office of QPWS on 07 3164 3600

Seems today's the day for the Moreton Bay City Council area to get smoked out.
Both in maidenhead grid square #QG62 —the one north of where I am… I'm in #QG63 but the smoke could still blow my way.

Ahh, wondered why it was smokey today…a hazard reduction burn… apparently it is affecting Ferny Hills, Ashgrove and The Gap, among others. #Smoke #Bushfire #HazardReductionBurn #Brisbane

Some of the smoke from the controlled burn at Boondall Wetlands methinks … this is taken off the balcony at my workplace in Milton. #Smoke #HazardReductionBurn

Seems there's a couple of bushfires burning in the Gold Coast region:
- Jacob's Well
- Woongoolba…and a hazard reduction burn taking place in Beechmont (Binna Burra).

So a bit of smoke about. Stay safe all!

I think I'll be knocking this on the head tonight. Last Monday, I dusted off a prototype air quality sensor, threw a build of OpenThread-based firmware onto it… and let it rip sampling PM2.5 concentration levels during the #HazardReductionBurn activity in my part of #Brisbane.
I think from this graph we can pretty much see it's done and dusted for this area. Last Tuesday we had concentrations peaking at 221µg/m³. Now we're peaking at just 23.

Mt Coot-tha from Settlement Rd, The Gap. #Brisbane #HazardReductionBurn #smoke has made the towers practically invisible.

So, day 3 of the #HazardReductionBurn #smoke -- this is the situation here in The Gap this morning.
PM2.5 levels peaked at 224µg/m³ between 1-2AM, toughed at 115µg/m³, and are on the rise again. Presently it is at 167µg/m³ (8:22AM).
We need a little breeze to clear the air here.
By comparison, Upper Kedron (other side of Taylor Range) is reporting 65.7µg/m³.

Guess all this #smoke in the air from the #HazardReductionBurn at Brookfield presents an opportunity.
My workplace was prototyping a wireless air quality sensor. Thread-based, and it includes amongst other things, a PM2.5 sensor.
I'll get the thing going and see what it does over the next few days.

Yep, that'd be why everything smells like #smoke today… hazard reduction burn in Brookfield, which is the other side of Mt. Coot-tha from here.
