April 7, 2026 - As a part of Council’s routine maintenance programs and commitment to ensure the long-term sustainability and efficiency of our water infrastructure, Council will be conducting an air scouring program across the entire Nanango Drinking Water Supply Scheme commencing Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

Air scouring is a mixture of potable water and compressed air which is injected into the water mains to remove biofilm and unwanted sediments settled on the inside of the pipes.

The air and water increase the velocity in the main causing an abrasive action to scour the pipework clean.

Water is flushed by a number of downstream hydrants to ensure there is no increase in pressure and ensure water quality is maintained.

Benefits of air scouring include:

• Improves the efficiency and reliability of our water network

• Removes iron and manganese sediments

• Increases the efficiency of disinfection residuals

Affected residents will be advised by letter box drop of the programmed works, and a fact sheet will be supplied with additional information.

Council apologises for any inconvenience; your patience is appreciated during this time.

Council encourages residents to report discoloured water by contacting Council’s Water and Wastewater team on (07) 4189-9100 or by email

March 25, 2026 - South Burnett Regional Council would like to remind residents that when it comes to disposing of large quantities or bulky waste it is important to use the designated landfill facilities instead of the smaller transfer stations.

Transfer Stations are designed to handle domestic everyday waste, but they have limited capacity and are not equipped to take all waste streams.

By disposing of larger waste at supervised facilities - including Kingaroy, Murgon, Nanango, and Wondai - we can ensure that all waste is managed efficiently, and the transfer stations remain a clean and safe environment for all residents.

For further information and to view what waste types can be disposed or recycled at each facility please visit Council’s website, download the Recyclopedia app or contact Council’s Waste Team on (07) 4189-9100.

February 27, 2026 - South Burnett Regional Council has commenced the water main replacement along Kingaroy Street, between River Road and Knight Street, Kingaroy.

The installation is planned to be carried out for approximately six weeks and is expected to be completed by Friday, April 10, 2026, weather and resources permitting.

To provide a safe work environment for Council staff, contractors and users, traffic signage will be in place during the time of works to control flow of traffic and ensure pedestrian safety.

Throughout the duration of works, it is expected that there will be several road closures affecting both lanes of traffic whilst crews install the water mains under the road.

Motorists and pedestrians are requested to travel with extra care, to drive to the prevailing road conditions and to adhere to signage.

It is anticipated the works will be carried out in a staged program and further communication will be provided with times of closures to affected businesses and residents.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks you for your patience whilst works are in progress.

For further information, please contact Council’s Water and Wastewater team on (07) 4189-9100 or by email
