âHaving a campfire is part of camping, especially through autumn, winter and spring.â
The fire bans were put in place on December 7, 2020, and include the areas of Teewah Beach, Noosa North Shore and Upper Noosa River. Fires are permitted at Inskip. Rob Gough operates an ice truck that delivers ice to the campgrounds on the Cooloola Coast.
A DES spokesperson said the ban was implemented to help protect visitors, reduce the risk of bushfires, reduce people being exposed to the dangers of campfires covered with sand and prevent visitors burning inappropriate things in campfires.
âFollowing an ecological assessment of bushfire impacts from the 2019/2020 bushfires and an assessment of the Kâgari bushfire, the current ban on campfires will continue indefinitely within the Cooloola Recreation Area,â the spokesperson said.

Easter holiday camping restrictions eased
Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs The Honourable Meaghan Scanlon
More Queenslanders will be able to camp in the state’s national parks and forests this Easter with the easing of COVID19 restrictions.
Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef Meaghan Scanlon said school holidays, great weather and beautiful landscapes meant that state-wide national park and forest camping areas were currently at 62% capacity during the Easter long weekend, about double January capacities.
The easing of restrictions will mean an additional 500 camping spots will become available at Inskip Point in the Cooloola Recreation Area just in time for the Easter long weekend.
