Fraser Island will have Indigenous rangers for the first time, with State Government confirming it will provide funding to the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation to fill the positions.
Butchulla man Luke Barrowcliffe said it was a great opportunity for their people.
"It's been our main aspiration to get people living and working back on country again, and this is just the start of this happening for us," he said.
"We're really pleased that we finally have some permanent positions on the island, and we are really looking forward to having more coming online."
The four rangers will work alongside rangers from the Department of Parks and Wildlife and focus on preserving Indigenous cultural values, while also assisting with weed management and maintaining island facilities.
"Queensland Parks and Wildlife have done what they can, but we have that intimate knowledge of our cultural heritage values on the island, and we've got a very special interest in making sure they're protected for future," Mr Barrowcliffe said.
Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said more than 20 Indigenous land sea rangers were employed across Queensland.
"The story of this island is thousands of generations deep, and when the Butchulla people have that connection, that is beyond our history books," Ms Enoch said.
"When you consider the beauty of this place, there is no where else like this."
The jobs announcement came as the Butchulla people celebrated 25 years Fraser Island, or K'gari, on the World Heritage List.
It's one of five World Heritage sites in Queensland, and is recognised alongside the Great Barrier Reef, the Pyramids in Egypt and the Galapagos Islands.
Mr Barrowcliffe said the anniversary was an important milestone for their people.
"The World Heritage Listing is international credibility that our homeland has universal values, and because of that we have visitors who want to come here from all over the world and see this special place," Mr Barrowcliffe said.
