Binna Burra resort in the Gold Coast hinterland was devastated by bushfires just five months ago. It had been hoping to reopen by Easter, but record-breaking rains in recent days has delayed repairs.

Chairman Steve Noakes said he had been hopeful to reopen by Easter, but repairs to the steep and windy road had been substantially delayed."The road repairs were on track quite well in January but Easter is now a very ambitious target, given the heavy rain and the extra work that's required to secure the cliff faces above and below the single access road in and out of Binna Burra.
