Upgraded ecotourism facilities open at Girraween National Park

• The Crisafulli Government has delivered upgraded facilities at Girraween National Park, including a new visitor information building, entry signage and amenities block, expanded car parking, and upgraded staff facilities.  
• The upgrade supports ecotourism, while showcasing the park's natural beauty and cultural heritage.  
• Opening celebrates another key eco-tourism milestone for the Crisafulli Government's Destination 2045 plan to supercharge tourism across the State. 

The Crisafulli Government has delivered a major upgrade to visitor facilities at Garraween National Park, in Queensland’s south.   

A new state-of-the-art visitor information building, new entry signage, new amenities block, expanded car parking and upgraded office facilities form the centrepiece of the upgrade, ensuring Girraween’s infrastructure reflects its status as a “priority park” and a major tourism attraction.   

Under Labor, National Parks were left without adequate maintenance, pest control and fire hazard reduction measures.  

The Girraween National Park Visitor Precinct supported the Crisafulli Government’s Destination 2045 by enhancing nature-based tourism, improving regional visitor infrastructure, and fostering stronger connections between communities and protected natural areas. 

The Crisafulli Government's Destination 2045 is a visionary roadmap that will supercharge Queensland's tourism industry into a new era of growth and sustainability, with a major focus on boosting ecotourism offering across the State. 

Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the Girraween visitor information building was architectually-designed with the vision to be dramatic, balanced and distinct.  

“Girraween, which means place of flowers, is famed for its dramatic granite outcrops, clear streams and vivid spring wildflowers, and draws more than 120,000 visitors each year,” Minister Powell said. 

“Those visitors will now receive an exceptional welcome and enjoy access to superior facilities which will enhance their visit.
