State Government has announced funding to upgrade the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 24, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government plans to spend $1.6 million on upgrades to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT).<\/p>\n

The money is part of $3.5 million funded by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, which will be spent on four Queensland rail trails.<\/p>\n

Other trails to receive a boost are the Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail ($1.6 million), Pioneer Valley Rail Trail ($75,000) and Bundaberg to Gin Gin Rail Trail ($147,000).<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg said the Rail Trail Program would increase visitation and economic activity in regional areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cCycling tourism is growing rapidly, and rail trails play a vital role in supporting the economies of regional towns,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> understands that an application was made to seek funding for an upgrade to the Goomeri to Kilkivan section of the South Burnett Rail Trail but it was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
