Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk project

What’s this about?

This is your chance to provide feedback on the 3 draft master plans proposed as part of the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk project on Gumbaynggirr Country.

Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre

A new visitor centre and spectacular elevated walkway on the footprint of the existing Dorrigo Rainforest Centre that will provide a world-class rainforest experience and enhanced access to the walking tracks and waterfalls.

Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk

A challenging 46km 4-day walk along the rugged escarpment of the Great Dividing Range in Dorrigo and Bindarri national parks, including purpose-built low impact hiker camps, pedestrian swing bridges and lookouts.

Baliiga precinct plan

This precinct plan describes the proposal to rename and upgrade the current Never Never picnic area in Dorrigo National Park, including providing low-key overnight tent and vehicle-based camping.

The draft master plans balance conserving the parks’ significant values with existing and future visitation demands, by creating inspiring visitor experiences that connect people with nature and culture in a sustainable way.
