在过去的十年里，该国家公园发生了一系列的自然灾害，而其中，最主要的，也是影响最严重的就是森林大火和洪水。他们强大的破坏力对植被等自然景观造成了严重的破坏。在2006年，一场严重的森林大火对该自然公园一半以上的面积造成了严重的破坏。无独有偶，五年之后，一场特大山洪对该自然公园的基础设施也造成了严重的破坏，而对麦肯齐河沿岸的基础设施的破坏尤为严重。

在被洪水破坏的基础设施之中，就有一座20世纪80年代修建的钢结构的人行桥。这座人行桥位于瀑布底部，瀑布形成的河流之上，使得麦肯齐河瀑布区与河流下游的野餐区相连接。该项目的建设，不仅仅是为了重建该座人行桥，同时也是维多利亚公园进行景观建筑和规划实践的重要组成部分。

这些钢结构的人行桥和一些高空中的高架桥蜿蜒穿梭于该瀑布区。然而，设计者指出，这些人行桥的设计外形不是随意设计的，主要是依托地形，沿着悬崖壁而建，使得当人们行走在人行桥上时，伸手就能够触摸到悬崖壁。

In the past ten years an unfortunate string of natural disasters, namely bushfires and floods, have hit the national park and their destructive forces are clearly imprinted upon the landscape. A major bushfire devastated about 50 percent of the park in 2006, followed five years later by a major flood that damaged a significant amount of the park’s infrastructure, particularly along the Mackenzie River.

One of the things destroyed by the floods was a 1980s blue powder coated steel footbridge that crossed the river just below the base of the falls, so the connection between the Mackenzie Falls car park and the historic Zumsteins picnic area downstream was severed. Rather than simply rebuilding the footbridge, which had been widely considered an eyesore, Parks Victoria engaged landscape architecture and planning practice Hansen Partnership to prepare a concept plan for the Mackenzie Falls Precinct.

The first of several bridges and elevated walkways along the trail zigzags through a cool microclimate, created by a field of fallen rocks lying adjacent to an escarpment wall. However, the shape of the bridge is not arbitrary, explains Anton Malishev, senior landscape architect at Hansen Partnership. “We wanted the bridge to follow the escarpment wall and gave instruction to make sure the rock wall was always within arm’s length.”
