Popular Sunshine Coast camping area set for multi-million upgrade

A $2.1 million upgrade of the Conondale National Park’s Booloumba Creek 1 camping area will ensure visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience, and that the protected area is well preserved for generations to come.

Conondale National Park is renowned for its lush rainforest, tall eucalypt forest, cascading waterfalls, boulder-strewn creek and spectacular scenery. Booloumba Creek 1 camping area is a relatively secluded campsite set among the rainforest on the banks of Booloumba Creek.

A contract has recently been awarded to local construction company Be! Building Group Pty Ltd for the upgrade of Conondale National Park’s Booloumba Creek 1 camping area.

Work on the major upgrade of the camping area’s facilities is expected to be completed by the end of June, weather permitting with upgrades including the construction of two day-visitor parking areas, a new persons-with-disability (PWD) campsite and a new amenities block.

Three new trailer/campervan/caravan camping sites will also be constructed which will increase the overall visitor capacity of the site to 150 people.

Access to the camping area will be closed during construction but visitors will still be able to enjoy Booloumba Creek 3 and 4 camping areas, or the nearby Charlie Moreland camping area in Imbil State Forest.”
