Burnett River Riparian Restoration Project / Gayndah River Walk

Gayndah is known as the oldest town in Queensland, was first settled by Europeans in 1843. The Burnett River is pivotal to the town and the river riparian area within the township has been severely impacted by the 2011 and 2013 floods. Flood recovery work has been carried out by the council to restabilise the river bank, but this project will repair and regenerate the River Walk. The project will remove pest plants and exotic species, incorporate the plantings of seedlings and cuttings propagated from some of the areas' identified rare and remnant species, and create public access ways (including wheelchair access) and information boards and signage.
