Public health authorities are attempting to contain the first outbreak of Dengue fever in a Queensland city since the 1950s, with 13 cases confirmed so far. 

All the current cases have connections to the North Rockhampton areas of Park Avenue and Kawana. 

Over 1000 properties in the region have been inspected as part of ongoing Dengue control measures, with 100 of those found to have Dengue mosquitoes.
