Marakoopa Creek Reserve is 26.3 ha of forest and grassland at the foot of the Great Western Tiers and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Tasmania’s most popular tourist cave, Marakoopa Cave, is next door and the road to the cave passes through the property. Mole Creek township is about 13km away via a sealed road. There are two creeks flowing through the property, one of which is permanent. Forest covers 21ha and the remainder is grassland that is regenerating to forest. A small hut and outbuildings are located at the northern end, close to the road. A site with good views and a northerly aspect is available for development, subject to council approval.

Infrastructure and services.
The property has road frontage to Mayberry Rd, a sealed road maintained by Meander Valley Council. From the entrance gate, a track runs across the paddock to the hut. The hut is constructed from timber with a corrugated iron roof and is currently maintained and used for overnight accommodation by a caving group.

An area of about 1ha including the hut and track will not be included in the covenant and will be available for use by the owner, however any proposal to build on the land will require the approval of the Meander Valley Council. The land is zoned “Rural within Karst Area” and Council has certified a draft amendment to their planning scheme that significantly changes the provisions relating to the use and development of land in the Rural zone. Subject to this approval this portion of the land might be used for a residence, horticulture or some form of tourist development

Conservation Values
The Marakoopa Creek Reserve has important conservation values including:
- The land is part of the Mole Creek Karst System and is underlain by limestone caves, with at least one cave entrance on the property.
- Two forest communities that are not adequately reserved, damp sclerophyll forest and wet white gun forest.
- Habitat for the endangered Tasmanian Devil and other marsupial carnivores.
