Upgrade to Woods Reserve Campground and Gibraltar Falls
Summary
Woods Reserve campground, including Gibraltar Falls, will be closed from November 2025 until mid-2026, to enable a complete upgrade of the facilities and reserve area.
Background
Following the devastating 2019/20 bushfires in Namadgi National Park (NNP), the Australian Government contributed grant funding towards Bushfire Recovery efforts across multiple precincts within NNP.
One of those precincts in urgent need of upgrading was identified as the Woods Reserve campground and Gibraltar Falls. The ACT Government has since completed detailed design documentation for these upgrade works.
Project goals and details
Construction will start in November 2025 and will include:
- demolition of aged toilet block facilities and installation of new and accessible toilet facility with hot showers for campers
- construction of a new parking facility available for day-use visitors to access Gibraltar Falls lookout
- new landscaping and restoration works across the site
- construction of designated day-use facility with picnic shelters and BBQ facilities
- installation of upgraded interpretive placemaking and signage, including Ngunnawal artworks and language highlighting continued deep connection to the Gibraltar Falls landscape
- new walking tracks, lookout and river access experiences.
The project is expected to be complete by mid-2026.
Project partners and funding
