Nearly 90 per cent of Queensland - an historic high - has been classified as in-drought after the latest round of declarations in the south-east on Saturday.

Agriculture Minister Bill Byrne added the Fraser Coast, North Burnett, South Burnett, Cherbourg, Gympie, Somerset and the remainder of Banana to the list of regions officially in-drought.

The latest declarations were effective immediately and brought the total drought-affect area of Queensland to 87 per cent - the highest ever recorded.

"I have been advised that while some parts of south-east Queensland have received some patchy storm rainfall over the summer season, good general rainfall across the whole region has not been received," Mr Bryne said.
