Work has commenced on the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Bamanga Muruku Tourism Hub in the Daintree National Park (CYPAL).

The $3.76 million project is jointly funded by the Federal and Queensland governments and is expected to be completed by December this year.

The centre will showcase Eastern Kuku Yalanji culture through dance, art, ceremonies, tours and displays.

Queensland Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Fiona Simpson said the project marked a significant step in promoting First Nations culture in the region.

"The cultural centre is expected to become a key drawcard for the Daintree and Tropical Far North Queensland, enhancing the visitor experience while supporting the local economy," Ms Simpson said.

"We want to provide more opportunities for Traditional Owners to share their rich culture with the world, and what better way to achieve that than providing a space for immersive experiences to be offered On Country."

Queensland Minister for the Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the new facility would strengthen First Nations-led tourism and create sustainable economic opportunities.

"Positioned in the iconic Daintree National Park (CYPAL), the hub will serve as a gateway for interstate and international visitors to connect with the stories, knowledge, and deep spiritual connection the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people have with the land and sea," Mr Powell said.

"We want to preserve and promote First Nations culture while ensuring sustainable tourism opportunities in one of Queensland's most treasured natural landscapes."

The state's Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation is working with the Jabalbina Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation to deliver the project.

Jabalbina Tourism Facilitator Crag Carttling said Eastern Kuku Yalanji are already national leaders in First Nations tourism.

"The support for this project from the State and Federal Governments will make a major contribution to building on this success putting the Port Douglas Daintree region on the map for world class eco-cultural experiences," he said.

"Through the cultural centre and our new tour company Yalada Tours, visitors can see the oldest living rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef through the eyes of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people and experience their connection to country stretching back 65,000 years."
