The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is carrying out a hazard reduction burn in Boonalla Aboriginal Area, north of Gunnedah over the next 3 days (24-26 May) weather permitting.
The 100 hectare burn is taking place approximately 25 kilometres from Gunnedah and smoke may impact Kelvin Road, depending on wind.
Boonalla Aboriginal Area will be closed to visitors during burning operations.
The burn is to reduce fuels and to create a mosaic across the landscape within Boonalla Aboriginal Area.
Visitors should not enter closed areas until it is assessed as safe by NPWS. Visitors can also check NPWS Alerts for up-to-date information on temporary closures.
Smoke may be visible in the Aboriginal Area and from surrounding areas and motorists should use caution.
All NPWS hazard reduction burns are coordinated with the NSW Rural Fire Service to ensure the impact on the community is assessed at a regional level.
