NOTIFICATION OF A PLANNED BURN: Sycamore Reserve, 4111 - 4149 Mount Lindesay highway PARK RIDGE SOUTH QLD 4125 – TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026.
Logan City Council’s Natural Areas - Operations Team will be conducting a planned burn within Sycamore Reserve on Tuesday 1st September 2026, weather permitting, as part of our Annual Planned Burn Program. The size of this burn will be approximately 3.4 hectares within Sycamore Reserve.
The approximate extent of the burn site is indicated in blue on the map image:
All land management agencies in Queensland have an obligation to mitigate the risk of fire entering or leaving land it owns or manages. Logan City Council achieves this through the implementation of its Fire Management Program which includes the construction & maintenance of firebreaks, fuel reduction works and the undertaking of planned burns.
Logan City Council’s Planned Burn Program intends to strategically reduce the bushfire hazard in selected areas of parks and reserves throughout the city. The aim of these burns is to reduce levels of bushfire fuel within our Parks and rejuvenate native vegetation. This will assist with reducing the intensity of any subsequent bushfires and provide favourable conditions for regeneration of native vegetation.
During these important operational activities, smoke may be seen in the vicinity of Park Ridge South on Wednesday. It is appreciated that this planned burn may cause some inconvenience to local residents, however all attempts will be made to limit the effect of these works on the community.
Logan Council will be onsite for the duration of operations until the burn is contained, with staff returning to site the following day to ensure the site remains secure following the planned burn.
Properties adjoining the site of the burn have received a notification letter as per the requirements in the Permit to Light. The letter also includes an option for residents to download the Early Warning Network app for updates on the timing of the burn or notifications prior to the day of the burn.
