More than $6 million will be spent to upgrade facilities at the Bunya Mountains National Park.

The area, located between the Queensland towns of Kingaroy and Dalby, attracts around 200,000 visitors each year.

The Queensland Government announced today that it would spend $6.46 million on a “facelift” for the area.

This would include:

  • A new visitor information building
  • New walking trails
  • Accessible amenities

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

“I’ve been visiting Bunya National Park since I was a kid and can say with certainty that from the mountain views to rainforests and waterfalls, this place is a rich natural haven, and we must ensure visitors have the best experience possible,” Mr Powell said.
