The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is seeking feedback on draft master plans for the proposed Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk and the Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre, as well as a new draft plan of management for Dorrigo National Park, Bindarri National Park and Bindarri State Conservation Area. The Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk focuses on maintaining low-impact visitation with sustainable facilities, incorporating shorter walking options for day visitors and less experienced walkers. The Walk is part of a network of 13 Great Walks being established across NSW to offer world-class multi-day walking experiences. The proposed new Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre is a whole new development of the existing visitor centre with a new, accessible pathway leading into the national park designed to be an accessible Gondwana Rainforest experience. It will offer people with limited mobility the opportunity to experience the World Heritage-listed rainforest around them while they learn about this unique ecosystem.
