Air quality in Gympie is generally good given its low-density, semi-rural setting, though bushfire smoke from surrounding state forests and timber plantations is a recurring seasonal concern, most likely in the drier months from late winter through spring. Otherwise, the town experiences relatively clean, if sometimes still, valley air with limited industrial influence. The town's compact size and surrounding forested hills mean pollution sources are limited outside of fire season.
