Depa’ Waterfall in Bontomanai Village, Gowa Regency, received regional government attention in 2026, yet its facility readiness has never been systematically evaluated. This study inventories the recorded facilities and grades the strength of evidence, analyses facility gaps in safety, sanitation, accessibility, information and governance, and formulates development priorities and a phased roadmap that preserves the site’s natural character. A qualitative descriptive-evaluative desk study was conducted using the national tourism information system record (Sisparnas, accessed 10 October 2026), the official village website and related literature. Each data point was assigned an evidence grade (A–D), checked for internal consistency and scored with a likelihood × impact risk matrix. The results show that basic facilities are recorded (parking, two public toilets, two food and beverage services, a prayer facility and an evacuation route), whereas toilets for persons with disabilities, visitor insurance and tour packages are absent. The recorded parking capacity is inconsistent with the reported area. Safety on the trekking route and in the water area, together with emergency readiness, are the highest priorities. Field verification, a visitor survey and community-engagement programmes are recommended.
