The venture comes as a joint initiative of USC and SeaLink Fraser Island, in partnership with the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation.
It will be supported by the Fraser Coast Regional Council.
USC Pro Vice-Chancellor (Engagement) Professor Joanne Scott said entry to the centre, which will officially open on 1 March, would be free to all visitors to the island.
âKâgari is recognised as one of the worldâs most outstanding natural wonders and the recent devastating fires have highlighted just how important, and fragile, this incredible island is,â Pro Scott said.
