June 5, 2025 - South Burnett Regional Council wishes to advise of changes to the raw water supply at the Blackbutt Treatment Plant.

Council’s access to the Boondooma Dam primary supply has been temporarily disrupted so Blackbutt will be supplied with 100 per cent Boobir Dam raw water.

It is expected that there will be increased levels of dissolved iron and manganese which can cause discolouring when oxidised by chlorine.

This may cause discolouration in some areas within the network. Council will continue to optimise the conventional treatment process to reduce the aesthetic colour.

Trials of pre-oxidation are under way, and Council is conducting an options analysis for all water treatment plants.

Council encourages residents to contact Council if they are experiencing discoloured water so that additional flushing works can be undertaken where possible.

February 4, 2025 - South Burnett Regional Council is encouraging responsible pet ownership with a focus on the State Government requirements to ensure all dogs and cats born after July 1, 2009, are microchipped.

Registering and microchipping your animals is an essential part of responsible pet ownership.

It is important to register your pet so if they are lost or stray, they can be returned home safely.

Council requires the microchip number to be listed on your dog’s registration, for all dogs born on or after the July 1, 2009.

If your dog is microchipped but you do not have the number to update Council’s records, please contact your local vet, the RSPCA or visit a Council office (with the exception of the Proston Office), for your dog to be scanned to retrieve the microchip number.

Council will continue to investigate options to provide residents microchipping days for those animals not microchipped. Further information on microchipping days will be provided to residents once confirmed.

Council will now be reviewing the registration system to identify those who may not have complied with the requirements of the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 or that Council does not hold records for.

Dog owners are asked to ensure their details are kept up-to-date with Council, whether this be change of ownership, change of address or, if sadly, your dog has passed away.

Council’s compliance team would like to thank everyone who has updated their details, notified Council of their dog’s microchip number and has paid their registration.

For further information on State legislation requirements for pet owners visit the State Government website or contact Council on (07) 4189-9100 or by email

South Burnett Regional Council is reaching out to all landowners with a friendly reminder about the importance of maintaining your properties.

A clean, safe, and tidy property not only reflects pride in our community but also helps prevent risks such as fire hazards and pest infestations.

We all play a part in keeping South Burnett a beautiful place to live, and Council is here to assist and support landowners in meeting property maintenance standards.

Key Responsibilities for Landowners:

1. Overgrown Vegetation:

• Grass and weeds should not exceed 300mm in height. Excess vegetation can create safety concerns and impact the community’s appearance.

2. Tidy Properties:

• Avoid letting items like derelict vehicles, broken appliances, or household waste accumulate. These items can attract pests and diminish the overall beauty of our neighbourhoods.

3. Compliance with Notices:

• If your property requires attention, Council may issue a notice with clear steps for improvement. Our goal is to work collaboratively with landowners to resolve any issues efficiently.

How You Can Help:

• Regularly mow lawns and maintain gardens.

• Clear any rubbish or debris from your property.

• Stay on-top of upkeep to avoid the need for intervention.

Council investigates concerns under Local Law No. 3 (Community and Environmental Management) 2011, which ensures properties meet community standards for health, safety and visual appeal.

We’re Here to Support You!

For more information or assistance, please contact Council by email or call (07) 4189-9100.

You can also visit our website for more tips on property maintenance.

Together, let’s ensure South Burnett remains a safe, attractive, and a vibrant region for everyone to enjoy.

When you transport any kind of load, your vehicle or trailer must be loaded safely so it doesn’t endanger other road users, your passengers, yourself, damage road infrastructure, or cause illegal littering.

This means ensuring that your load:

• Is properly restrained

• Doesn’t overhang dangerously

• Doesn’t exceed mass limits

• Doesn’t cover lights, indicators, reflectors, or the number plate.

How to transport different waste:

• Green Waste - Use a secured tarp or netting to prevent light items blowing away.

• Furniture and White Goods - Restrain tall items to headboards to ensure they don’t fall over when you brake, turn or take evasive action. If the furniture extends above the sides of the ute or trailer, tightly restrain it using tie down straps.

• General Household Waste - In a ute or trailer use a tarp, netting or tie-down straps to secure the waste from moving or falling out during transport.

If using a tarp or netting when transporting the waste and the waste isn’t easily identifiable, you may be required to remove the tarps or covering at the weighbridge so the gatehouse operators at the facilities can ascertain what exactly is on the load and accurately point you in the right direction to dispose of said waste.

Should your load not be covered correctly when transporting waste to one of the Waste Facilities, and waste falls from your vehicle, this is considered illegal littering under the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.

If someone is found to be illegally littering, there are fines of up to $32,260.
