Waterfall precinct upgrade underway
WORKS have started on the next stage of a major upgrade to the Millaa Millaa Falls precinct, with visitors advised that no public toilets will be available until the end of the year and there will be disruption to car parking.
The upgrade includes the relocation and installation of a new amenities block, a new roadway for better vehicle access, safer pedestrian zones, and a new forecourt adjoining the main viewing platform.
Informational signage, picnic tables and undercover seating will also be installed.
But for the upgrade to be undertaken, the lower car park will be closed for large portions of the works; large buses, caravans and trailers will not be able to access the site during construction; and small buses and oversized vehicles will have limited access during the majority of works.
Access for mobility impaired visitors will be limited while works at the lower area are conducted.
Subject to suitable weather, works in the upper car park are planned in the coming weeks. This will require a full closure of public access to the Millaa Millaa Falls precinct for a period of 1-2 days.
Full closure of the precinct may also be required at other times during construction to ensure visitor safety.
The new amenities block is expected to be operational by the end of this year. In the meantime, visitors are advised to use public facilities in Main Street, Millaa Millaa.
TRC acting Mayor Dave Bilney said the upgrade would give Millaa Millaa Falls a public space that matched the significance of the location.
“This project will improve accessibility, update amenities and enhance the visitor experience, so the falls remain a destination our community can be proud of, and one our visitors continue to enjoy,” he said.
Construction began earlier this month, with work focused on site preparation, upgrades to the upper and lower parking areas, and decommissioning of the existing amenities block.
The overall project is expected to be completed by June 2027.
Council says it has held public information sessions with the Millaa Millaa community and is keeping local businesses and tour operators informed as works progress.
