AFAC has released the Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for spring 2026 with fire authorities predicting a heightened risk of fire across northern and southeastern NSW, south-east Queensland, northeastern Tasmania, parts of WA, SA and Victoria, and large parts of the NT.

AFAC CEO Rob Webb said: “This outlook highlights a heightened risk of fire across several parts of the country, driven by a combination of dry conditions in the east and increased fuel loads through parts of central and northern Australia."

"The variety of risk factors across different regions reinforces the need for communities to understand their local conditions and prepare early."

The Seasonal Bushfire Outlook is an expert analysis of bushfire fuels, past rainfall, temperature, and climate outlooks undertaken by the Bureau of Meteorology and fire agencies across Australia.

AFAC News has released its bushfire outlook for spring and the months ahead paint a mixed picture for Queensland across our higher risk bushfire period.
While unseasonal rain experienced across many parts of the state has reduced bushfire risk in some areas, there are still sections of South East Queensland and the southern interior where soil moisture remains low.
This, paired with above average temperatures forecast areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, may lead to increased fuel availability and fire danger.
No matter where you live in Queensland it’s important not to be complacent.
Remain aware of conditions in your area and ensure you have a Bushfire Survival Plan ahead of time.

🔥 COME AND SEE US THIS SATURDAY 🔥

Our brigade will be on site alongside the Rangers this Saturday.

If you’ve got questions about bushfire safety, preparing your property or getting a Bushfire Survival Plan sorted, come and have a chat with us 👋

🗓 When: Saturday 22 August
⏰ Time: 9AM
📍 Where: Steele Road entrance to Plunkett Conservation Park

The Rangers will be talking through the fireline upgrade works happening in the protected areas south of Brisbane.
Firelines are a key part of QPWS fire management. They act as a strategic barrier — stopping runaway fires from reaching properties, and giving park managers and firefighters safe access when it matters most.

Over the coming year, more than 20 boundary firelines will be upgraded across the urban interface parks:
📍 Daisy Hill Conservation Park
📍 Carbrook Wetlands Conservation Park
📍 Buccan Conservation Park
📍 Plunkett Conservation Park
📍 Wolffdene section, Edward Corbould Nature Refuge
