Bunya Mountains National Park allocated $6.4 million for upgrades

The Queensland Government is allocating $6.4 million worth of upgrades for one of the state’s most popular national parks - the Bunya Mountains National Park.

The ecotourism boost will improve the experience for the approximately 200,000 people that visit the region every year.

The significant upgrades at the Dandabah Picnic Area in the Bunya Mountains include a new visitor information building, new walking trails and accessible amenities to ensure all visitors can enjoy the natural beauty on offer.

The upgrade has also been carefully designed to ensure none of the iconic bunya trees are removed.

QLD Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the Dandabah Picnic Area's increasing popularity shows demand for nature-based ecotourism experiences is growing.

Minister Powell added "we are committed to unlocking the untapped potential of eco-tourism in Queensland, and encouraging more visitors to enjoy our natural assets while prioritising sustainability.

"These upgrades are just one demonstration of our dedication to boosting ecotourism throughout Queensland, and I look forward to seeing this refreshed area coming to life."
