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.
