Picnic Point Trails Reopen After Flood Recovery

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has re-opened the Firetail and Fantail Walks at Picnic Point on Toowoomba's eastern escarpment following the completion of restoration works.

Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr 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.

"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," Mayor McDonald said.

"Sections of the walks that were affected by the floods were realigned along with drainage works to manage water flow and reduce erosion.
