Another $4.2m is allocated for upgrades to the Murrays Beach Boardwalk and Boat Ramp, $3.5m for upgrades to 11km of walking tracks and nine viewing platforms, $4.8m for upgrades to campground amenities and $3.8m for road repairs throughout the park.
Environment Minister Sussan Ley said the funding will help the region move through the economic challenges of COVID-19.
"Booderee, blessed with its crystal-clear waters and pristine white beaches, and the Australian National Botanic Gardens which features the most comprehensive collection of native plants in the country, are both unique and among the greatest showcases of our natural environment," she said.
"It is crucial that we maintain these national treasures and the infrastructure that supports tourism, park management, our traditional owners and regional economies, and this investment will deliver just that."
