The Trackways are an important and irreplaceable part of our cultural heritage. The fossilised footprints had been sealed underground and perfectly preserved for 95 million years. But once uncovered they began to deteriorate - water runoff, dust, temperature and humidity fluctuations, wildlife and people damaged the Trackways.

In 2002, a new conservation building, based on environmentally sustainable design principles (ESD) was built.

Winton Shire Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service jointly manage Lark Quarry Conservation Park and the Dinosaur Trackways. Queensland Museum provides ongoing Trackways scientific advice.

The Lark Quarry redevelopment is one of 32 Queensland Heritage Trails Network projects. The Queensland Heritage Trails Network is a partnership between the Queensland Government, the Commonwealth Government, and local communities to celebrate the Centenary of Federation.
