Work has commenced on a major upgrade to the Minyon Falls visitor precinct as part of the largest ever investment into National Park visitor infrastructure which will see the area closed until June 30, 2021.

Specialist contractors Wardrope and Carroll Engineering have been engaged by the National Parks and Wildlife Service as part of the NPWS Visitor Infrastructure Program. This is the first stage of the $7.35 million Tweed Byron Hinterland Trails Project, which will deliver high-quality nature-based visitor experiences to boost the NSW visitor economy and community wellbeing.

These upgrades will complement and protect the site’s incredible natural and cultural values while providing opportunities for a more diverse range of visitors to enjoy this spectacular spot.

The Minyon Falls visitor precinct will be closed until Thursday, 1 July 2021.
