Recreation Areas
Queensland has five recreation areas established under the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006. In recreation areas, nature-based recreation is encouraged but carefully planned and managed to protect these places for conservation.
Fraser Island, Green Island, Moreton Island, Bribie Island and Inskip Peninsula are recreation areas. Most of Moreton, Bribie and Fraser Islands and the eastern half of Green Island are national parks.
All are managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service
Recreation areas are partly managed on a user-pays basis. Camping fees and vehicle permit fees are used to help manage the recreation areas.
