Mossman Gorge Visitor Centre

The FKG Group was engaged to redevelop a former sugar cane field into a new visitor and training precinct for the Indigenous Land Council. The project delivered two major facilities: a Visitor Centre with an entry area, café, commercial kitchen, offices, meeting spaces, amenities, gallery and retail areas, and a Training Centre comprising accommodation buildings, classrooms, kitchens, common areas and administration facilities to support student programs.

Construction took place beside the Daintree Rainforest on a heritage‑listed site, requiring careful environmental management. Frequent rain interruptions and the site’s proximity to Mossman Creek necessitated strong erosion and sediment controls, including silt fencing and regular water‑quality monitoring. Indigenous employment was incorporated into the project, with several local workers and an apprenticeship supported throughout delivery. The completed precinct provided culturally significant facilities designed to support tourism, training and community development.
