Works have started on the much-anticipated next stage of a major upgrade for the Millaa Millaa Falls visitor precinct.
The popular tourist destination will receive a significant transformation over coming months, including the relocation and installation of a brand-new amenities block, a reconfigured lower parking area providing disability parking, a temporary drop-off/pick-up zone and an impressive new forecourt adjoining the main viewing platform.
Overall accessibility, facilities and visitor experience at Millaa Millaa Falls will be greatly enhanced along with updated informational signage and new picnic tables and undercover seating.
Important Project Update – Monday 13 July 2026
Please note — The construction works will impact vehicle and pedestrian access to precinct areas for the community while the works take place. These include disruptions or closures of vehicle parking areas and pedestrian access to the Falls viewing areas.
The amenities block has been decommissioned ahead of its upcoming removal and is not available for public use. The nearest public toilets are located in the main Millaa Millaa township, opposite the Millaa Millaa Hotel.
Parking for caravans, trailers and oversized vehicles is not available at this time due to limited turning space.
Construction works are underway for the next and final stages of the Millaa Millaa Falls visitor precinct upgrade and commenced in July 2026. Current works are focusing on the upper and lower parking areas and decommission of the existing amenities block. The new amenities block is expected to be built and operational by the end of this year.
The full project is expected to be completed by June 2027.
The construction works will require some necessary impacts for the community while the works take place. These include disruptions to parking and access to the site, viewing access to the falls, and very limited accessibility for people with mobility limitations, however when complete, the precinct will provide significantly increased accessibility for everyone.
Signage will be installed to ensure motorists understand what areas are open and closed and minimise inconvenience during the construction period for this important project. Parking for caravans, trailers and oversized vehicles will not be available during the construction period due to limited turning space.
Council has conducted public information sessions with the Millaa Millaa community and is keeping local businesses and tour operators informed as works progress. Council appreciates the community’s patience and understanding over the construction period to help improve the precinct and make Millaa Falls and even better place to visit.
Queensland Government has contributed $1,200,000.00 through the 2024-27 Works for Queensland program and $290,200 through the Minor Infrastructure and Inclusive Facilities Fund to Tablelands Regional Council for this project, supporting regional councils to deliver essential infrastructure and create local jobs.
