read moreToowoomba Regional Council has advised that Picnic Point Firetail & Fantail Walks have re-opened on Toowoomba’s eastern escarpment following the completion of restoration works.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Geoff McDonald said work on the trails started in October 2024 to repair damage from the 2022 floods.
Mayor McDonald said landslip remediation repairs had re-established the Firetail and Fantail Walks as safe recreation trails.
Mayor McDonald advised “The works included the removal of deposited sediment and rocks from landslips, as well as the installation of drainage systems featuring geotextile fabric, rocks, and pipes.
“Sections of the walks that were affected by the floods were realigned along with drainage works to manage water flow and reduce erosion.
“One section of the Fantail Walk, pictured above, was severely affected by a landslip, and efforts were made from the lower side of the embankment to improve stability and minimise future flood effects.
“I am pleased that the restoration works were completed to allow the Firetail and Fantail walks to be open to the public in time for the busy Christmas holiday season.
“The re-opening is a significant milestone, as it represents the completion of all landslip repair works in the Toowoomba Region under the 2022 Flood Recovery Program.
“This project highlights our commitment to rebuilding and revitalising our recreational spaces, ensuring they remain safe for everyone to enjoy.
“The works have not only improved accessibility and resilience of the Fantail and Firetail Walks (pictured below), but also contributed to the broader recovery of the Region by providing environmental and community benefits.
“Council appreciates our community’s patience as these important remediation works were completed.”
These remediation efforts were jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), specifically under the Community and Recreational Assets program, which supports the repair and restoration of community infrastructure following natural disasters.
