The iconic Binna Burra Lodge that was destroyed by bushfires three weeks ago has revealed its bold plans to re-open before Christmas.  

The blaze that swept through the Scenic Rim razed the heritage-listed building that had stood since the 1930s and left almost 60 staff out of work.

Lodge Chairman Steve Noakes says there’s a lot to be done with most of the Lodge’s cabins and other buildings destroyed but is targeting early December to re-open the tourism hotspot.
