GARDENS OF STONE OFFICIALLY PROTECTED IN PERPETUITY

Eighty rare and threatened animal species and 16 threatened ecological communities will be better protected after the iconic Gardens of Stone was officially reserved as a State Conservation Area.

The gazettal this week follows a $50 million NSW Government commitment to establish an eco-adventure tourism destination in the central west of NSW.



The more than 30,000 hectare area near Lithgow features ancient rock pagodas, highland swamps, Aboriginal cultural sites and sandstone cliffs.



Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the reserve’s planned centrepiece, the world-class Lost City Adventure Experience, will support regional jobs and draw an estimated 200,000-plus extra visitors to the region each year.



“The first-of-its-kind Lost City Adventure Experience will be one of the State’s biggest ever regional ecotourism projects that will be a tourism attraction generating millions of dollars for the local economy,” Mr Toole said.GARDENS OF STONE OFFICIALLY PROTECTED IN PERPETUITY
