Springbrook Rainforest Restoration Project
Enhancing the integrity and resilience of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area
Springbrook is a place of outstanding natural beauty and environmental significance. It is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area—Australia’s most ancient forests. With more than 600 plant species and 272 animal species recorded, it is a place of exceptional biodiversity.
Located in the Gold Coast Hinterland, thousands of visitors flock to Springbrook each year to experience the spectacular waterfalls, lush rainforest, ancient trees and magnificent views.
The Queensland Government’s vision for Springbrook plateau is a vibrant community underpinned by World Heritage values.
To realise this vision, the Queensland Government has made one of Australia’s most ambitious and significant investments in World Heritage conservation—$40 million has been spent to acquire 705 hectares of high conservation land adjacent to Springbrook National Park as well as areas that will create critical habitat corridors.
This land is being added to the national park, ensuring future generations of Queenslanders will have an opportunity to enjoy this area.
