May 8, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council wishes to advise that a temporary road closure of Freemans Lane in Kingaroy, at the Kent Street end, is planned to facilitate road construction works commencing during the week of Monday, May 13, 2024.

The project will replace a 40 metre long section of existing problematic bitumen sealed pavement in Freemans Lane adjoining Kent Street.

Access to the Kingaroy Fire station, from Freemans Lane, will not be available during the construction period. Access to other properties fronting Freemans Lane between Kent Street and Mary Street will only be available via the Mary Street end during the construction period.

Construction activity will create noise from machinery and equipment, some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access for public safety, however these impacts will be limited and allow continual business access.

Site works and construction activity will be performed Monday to Friday – 6:30am – 5:00pm with occasional weekend work. The project is expected to be completed by June 2024.

This project has been funded under the South Burnett Regional Council Capital Works Program for 2023-2024.

May 2, 2024: Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) will be held from May 6-12, 2024 and this year’s theme is "Privacy and technology: improving transparency, accountability and security".

Advances in technology can potentially improve our standard of living, safety and give us access to greater information so that we can be informed. But it can also bring with it the potential to intrude further into our personal lives.

At the South Burnett Regional Council we take your privacy seriously and we do everything we can to ensure your privacy rights are respected.

Your personal information is valuable and the public sector must protect Queenslanders’ personal information, especially when introducing or deploying new technology. This helps create greater transparency, accountability and security.

As a member of the public, there are also a range of things you can do every day to better protect your privacy and personal information while using technology.

Here are some helpful tips:
1. Update your privacy and security settings on all of your devices.
2. Be mindful of what you share on social media about yourself and others.
3. Use multi-factor authentication to better protect your online accounts.
4. Be wary of public wi-fi and avoid using it for things like internet banking.
5. Read terms and conditions when you sign up for a new service or app, so you know what you’re agreeing to.

Did you know Queensland is entering a new chapter when it comes to privacy? Legislation has been passed for a mandatory data breach notification scheme starting in mid 2025, which means public sector agencies will have to report any privacy breaches. The range of upcoming changes will improve transparency and accountability and strengthen privacy protections for the community.

As we step into this new privacy era in Queensland, we hope you can join us in celebrating PAW 2024. For more information, resources and privacy tips, please visit the Office of the Information Commissioner website.

You might also like to check out this short video about your privacy rights in Queensland.

Don’t forget, you can also view our Privacy Policy on Council’s website and if you are concerned about how our agency has collected, used, stored or shared your personal information, you should contact Council on (07) 4189-9100 or by email

April 16, 2024: As a part of Council’s 2023/24 sewerage capital works program and commitment to ensure the long-term sustainability and efficiency of our sewerage infrastructure, Council is undertaking a sewer manhole relining program in the Kingaroy, Nanango, Murgon and Wondai sewer networks over the next two months.

Infrastructure Rehabilitation Services (IRS) Pty Ltd was awarded the contract for these works.

The sewer manhole rehabilitation program will extend the life of existing sewerage infrastructure via the installation of cementitious coatings to the internal face of the manholes.

The program will involve the use of high pressure cleaning, robotics to inspect the sewers and manual application of coatings within the manholes.

This work is complementary to the previous pipe re-lining installation using a PVC liner and restores the network to a near new condition.

The project has commenced and is expected to be completed in June 2024. Further notifications to affected customers will be provided when works are occurring in their area. Access to manholes on some customer properties will be necessary, with contractors undertaking works whilst being assisted by Council staff.

Completion of works is scheduled for late June 2024 based on the contractor production rate for manhole rehabilitation works, weather permitting. The completion date will however be dependent on network conditions which can only be confirmed once works begin.

Council apologises for any inconvenience that this work may cause and thanks you in advance for your patience.

April 3, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council is installing weighbridges at its Wondai and Nanango landfill sites to meet statutory and compliance requirements associated with the State Waste Levy.

These facilities will assist in accurately accounting for waste being disposed of at these sites.

It is anticipated that construction will commence in April 2024 with an expected completion date being August 2024.

During this period customers can expect some changes to the current traffic flows for users of both sites, with the relocation of the site control huts and redirection of access roads inside the facilities.

Council’s waste team will endeavour to minimise disruption during the construction stage and asks for the community’s patience and understanding during this time.

April 3, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council wishes to advise residents that Council and/or its appointed water meter reading officer will soon begin reading water meters throughout the region for the half year period ending June 30, 2024.

This will apply to all premises connected to the water supply schemes in Blackbutt, Boondooma, Kingaroy, Kumbia, Murgon, Nanango, Proston, Proston Rural, Tingoora,
Wondai and Wooroolin for the purpose of recording water meter readings.

The water meter reading program will commence on Monday, April 15, 2024 and is expected to continue until Friday, June 8, 2024 and will be conducted between the hours of 6:00am and 6:00pm daily.

The water meter reading program collects information for the billing of water consumption that will be included on the six monthly rate notices to be issued in August 2024.

Meter reading personnel may be required to enter properties to gain access to and read the water meters. It is a requirement of our water meter reading personnel that soil or other material that is removed from any meter box to record a reading is returned to the meter box. This prevents drains from being blocked or ratepayer lawns being damaged by anything removed from the meter box.

For the safety of meter reading personnel, please ensure that your animals are enclosed within your property and check that garden vegetation does not obstruct access to your water meter.

More details about the billing of water consumption and other useful information can be found on Council’s website.

Enquiries may be directed to Council's Rates department on (07) 4189-9100 or by email.

March 26, 2024: Did you know that it has been over a year since the South Burnett started the recycling program?

Over the past year we have diverted over 1083.25 tonne of waste from going into landfill. Out of all the waste collected from the kerbside collections, this is only 12.18%.

A study in 2021 shows that 32% of household waste is recyclable, meaning the South Burnett still has so much more recycling to do!

Recycling improves the health of our environment by conserving natural resources, reducing landfill gas and leachate, and decreases ecosystem destruction by diverting waste from landfill.

If you are unsure of what can go in your recycling bin, you can download our Recyclopedia app which will show you an A-Z list of all waste types and where they can be disposed of.

If you have any further questions or enquiries regarding recycling, please contact the Waste Management department on (07) 4189-9100 or by email

March 19, 2024: Council hereby notifies all ratepayers that rate notices for the period 1 January to 30 June 2024 were issued on Monday 18 March with a discount date of 22 April 2024.

If you have not received your rate notice by Monday 1 April 2024, please contact your local Customer Service Centre for a copy to be mailed to you.

Non-receipt of rate notices is not an acceptable excuse for late payment of rates.

Council’s customer service team is committed to providing exemplary customer service and will be happy to assist with rates enquiries. Council has zero-tolerance of abusive or unacceptable behaviour of customers.

Estimated Water Readings

Council has had to estimate some water meter readings included in this levy due to an obstruction, vegetation, a locked fence or a dog on the premises.

To ensure your next reading is not estimated, please make access to the property available during April/May 2024 as per the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 - Sect 37.

Payments

Payments may still be received in person at Nanango, Kingaroy, Murgon, Wondai, Proston & Blackbutt Customer Service Centres by EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard, cash or cheque. Payments can also be made through Australia Post and via BPay.

Discount will be applied to properties where the full amount owing (net payable) has been received over the counter or into Council’s bank account on or before Monday, April 22, 2024.

Please ensure electronic transfers are received into Council’s account before the close of discount date. For BPAY transfers allow up to three days for transfer into Council’s account. Please contact your financial institution directly regarding internet banking and transfer cut-off times.

March 14, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council is proud to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing digital transformation with the launch of the interactive online mapping of the South Burnett Town Planning Scheme.

This tool incorporates zoning and overlays for properties within the South Burnett region, providing a streamlined and accessible platform for residents, businesses and stakeholders.

The online map is available through the Council Connect portal and can also be accessed directly on Council's website.

This user-friendly platform ensures that residents, businesses and stakeholders can effortlessly explore and understand the planning regulations governing specific properties within the South Burnett region.

Council invites all residents and businesses to explore and take advantage of the interactive online mapping tool for a more transparent, accessible and user-friendly experience in understanding the zoning and overlays shaping the future of the South Burnett region.

March 7, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council is conducting a coordinated Wild Dog & Feral Pig Control Program.

Wild dogs cause livestock losses and kill native fauna. Feral pigs are key spread vectors for emergency animal diseases such as Foot and Mouth and African Swine Fever which are now in close proximity to the Australian mainland.

Participation in this coordinated program will assist in suppressing the feral pig population across a more extensive area of our region.

To encourage greater participation, the South Burnett Regional Council will be providing meat free of charge for landholders that register to participate in the coordinated program.

Baiting stations will be held throughout the South Burnett from Friday, May 10, 2024 to Friday, May 17, 2024.

All participants must register their intention to conduct baiting no later than Thursday, May 2, 2024.

For further information and to register your intention of attending a baiting station please contact Council’s Stock Route & Pest Officer on (07) 4189-9100.

Protection of domestic and working dogs

Owners of domestic and working dogs are advised to restrain and or muzzle their dogs during the baiting program to minimise the risk of dogs wandering and coming into contact with poison baits.

February 22, 2024: South Burnett Regional Council would like to advise that the McCauley Weir at Nanango is now open for public day use.

November 1, 2023: South Burnett Regional Council advises at the October Ordinary Meeting of Council it was resolved to waive the fees associated with roadside grazing permits.

Whilst the Sought Burnett is not officially drought declared, at this time Council acknowledges the need for roadside grazing during the current period of financial hardship due to the drought type conditions. The position of drought declaration within the South Burnett region will be reviewed in April 2024.

The removal of the fee is seen as a way of encouraging more applications to Council to ensure the correct level of public liability insurance is held. Roadside grazing also reduces the fire risk with the reduction of grass on roadsides.

To obtain a permit, landholders will need to complete an application for a “Stock Route Grazing Permit” detailing the following information:

• number of head and description of herd (sex, age, brand)
• public liability insurance details (minimum of $20 million)
• property identification codes and lot on plan numbers of where the stock have come from
• the area applying to be grazed. This is usually adjacent to the landowner’s property, however, if it is not, Council may require a letter of non-objection from the adjoining landholder.

To apply for a permit please complete the application here: Application for a Stock Route Grazing (Agistment) Permit (www.qld.gov.au) and submit to Council.

For further information, please contact Council on (07) 4189-9100 or by email

October 26, 2023: It’s that time of the year when the warmer weather hits and water deliveries increase to properties that rely on tank water.
