The popular Bunya Mountains National Park, 90 minutes north of Toowoomba, has received a multi-million-dollar upgrade to its camping area.
Dandabah picnic and camping area now features an elevated boardwalk, a wheelchair-accessible barbecue area, upgraded carpark, and a visitor information hub with interpretative content.
The Bunya Mountains National Park upgrade was completed as part of Destination 2045, a 20-year plan for the future of tourism in Queensland.
Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the upgrades would ensure the national park remained a premier destination for ecotourism.
“These upgrades are about protecting a world‑class natural asset and positioning the South Burnett as a standout ecotourism destination,” Mr Powell said.
“With peak visitation on the horizon and a major Bunya season ahead, this investment ensures the park is ready to welcome more visitors while preserving what makes it special.
“Through long‑term initiatives like Destination 2045, we’re backing sustainable tourism that showcases Queensland’s unique landscapes and delivers real benefits to regional communities.”
Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said the completion of the upgrade was a huge win for the local community.
“The Bunya Mountains is a special place for both locals and visitors, and the upgrades to Dandabah will only enhance the iconic national park even further,” Ms Frecklington said.
“This project strengthens the South Burnett’s appeal as a unique destination for eco-tourism and encourages more people to visit, explore and enjoy the region.”
