The smoke is the result of prescribed burns being carried out by the department and private property owners.

The Department of Biodiversity said smoke is expected to clear overnight.

Motorists are advised to turn on headlights if visibility is reduced due to smoke.

If smoke is particularly thick residents are encouraged to turn off air-conditioners.
