State-wide forest notices
Recreational hunting
Licenced recreational hunting is permitted in selected State forests and conditions apply. To find out more, refer to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
Hazard reduction burning
During the cooler months, our staff carry out hazard reduction burning programs to reduce fuel loads. These burns are carefully monitored to stay within containment lines.
Please stay away from any burning or recently burnt areas. Motorists should take care when driving in smoky conditions.
Check the Fires Near Me app before visiting a State forest.
Solid fuel fire bans
During the warmer months, solid fuel fires are banned in some State forests. You can check current solid fuel fire bans here.
1080 baiting for wild dog and fox control
We intermittently conduct 1080 baiting in State forests to target wild dogs and foxes. Treated areas will be signposted.
Important: If you have hunting or companion dogs, take necessary precautions to keep them safe.
