Sunshine Coast National Parks ready for eggs-cellent Easter adventures 

  • Sunshine Coast National Parks open and welcoming visitors for the Easter holiday break.
  • The Parks offer perfect opportunity for families to get back to nature, explore walking trails and connect with wildlife.  
  • Rangers and repair crews work around the clock to ensure access after ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.  

The Crisafulli Government has ensured the Sunshine Coast’s iconic National Parks are back to their best, and ready for Easter Holiday visitors.  

Offering the perfect escape into nature, these parks provide an exceptional opportunity for families to reconnect with the environment, embrace ecotourism and support the region’s local economy.  

From the untouched rainforests of Kondalilla National Park to the scenic coastal views of Noosa National Park, the Sunshine Coast offers a wide variety of outdoor experiences for families, adventurers and nature lovers alike.  

Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said it was the perfect time to explore the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland.  

“Departmental workers and rangers have worked around the clock to ensure our world-class National Parks are ready to welcome visitors again after recent wild weather,” said Minister Powell.  

“I’d encourage everyone to get out and explore their local parks this holiday period and reconnect with nature. 

“It’s the perfect way to learn about the importance of preserving our natural spaces while having fun and supporting local businesses.  

“Ecotourism is a booming international travel trend, and we have some of the best walking trails, hiking locations and wildlife watching in the world.  

“There’s eco-friendly accommodation, and luxury options close to all our National Parks, so you can choose your own adventure.” 

Member for Caloundra Kendall Morton said the region was ready for tourists.  

“Local businesses are open and ready to welcome you with open arms,” said Ms Morton.    

Visitors are encouraged to follow all safety guidelines while enjoying the parks, including staying on designated walking trails, respecting wildlife and removing all rubbish.
