The Banyula Village Farm to Fork Restaurant and Agritourism Visitor Precinct reflects our strength in uniting ecology, agriculture, and community through a vision deeply grounded in respect for Country. In partnership with the Widjabil Wyabil land title group and First Nations knowledge holders, the project celebrates cultural heritage while shaping a masterplan that restores the land and fosters shared custodianship.

Banyula Village Masterplan.At its heart, Banyula is a regenerative landscape - 350 hectares of farming integrated with the reforestation of the Big Scrub, including 300,000 rainforest plants and expanded koala habitat. Water-sensitive design, natural sequence farming, and riparian restoration build long-term resilience to climate change, bushfires, and floods.

Circular Terraces integrated into the landscape.
The visitor experience is conceived as a journey through the senses, with attractors including a koala habitat observation tower, riverwalk, wetlands soundscape, native flora trails, and the Banyula Village - an immersive farm-to-fork hub with dining terraces and community spaces. Banyula is a rare opportunity: a nature-based, at-scale precinct where ecological restoration, regenerative farming, and cultural storytelling converge to create a meeting place for future generations.
