Project Description

TRC Tourism and Brave and Curious were engaged to develop this document to support planning for the Flinders Ranges World Heritage Serial Property. The challenge was to present the 13 individual geological sites found within the Brachina Gorge area of the Park in a manner that would enliven and enrich the Brachina story and develop popular and unique visitor experiences that would present the evidence and narrative that traces “The Dawn of Animal Life”.

The Concept Plan looks to guide the access, presentation and interpretation of the 13 selected sites that align with the South Australian Government’s recent proposal for World Heritage listing. To provide the very best World Heritage experience, the Concept Plan required a strong focus on users and the visitor experience. It also required a focus on sustainability and the minimisation of maintenance and management costs. The project team also included sites within the Gorge that weren’t identified geological Element sites but were identified as sites that were integral to the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park experience and provided a complete visitor package.
