flag Jenolan Caves will reopen via a $44M gondola, replacing a damaged road, after experts deemed it the fastest, cheapest, and greenest option.

flag The Jenolan Caves World Heritage site in New South Wales plans to reopen without vehicle access, opting for a $44 million gondola from the west, which experts say is the fastest, most cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable option. flag The gondola, capable of carrying up to 1,800 visitors per hour and supporting 500,000 annual visitors, would replace a damaged road closed due to landslides and flooding. flag A government-commissioned report favored the gondola over road restoration or a funicular, citing lower cost, faster construction, and reduced environmental impact. flag The project aims to make the site self-sufficient and preserve its ecological and cultural significance, including its sacred status to the Gundungurra Nation. flag The NSW government’s interagency committee will review the plan, with officials committed to restoring access as soon as possible.
