The Department of Natural Resources and Mines is undertaking a planned burn today at Rainbow Crescent, Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island.

Planned burns are necessary to reduce the volume of forest litter fuel to assist with hazard reduction and provide conditions essential for native plant species regeneration. It is appreciated that these burns may cause some inconvenience, however all attempts are made to limit any smoke hazards from the work.

Queensland Fire & Rescue Service communication centre has been notified. All residents surrounding the area have been notified via letter box drop.
