Is SBRC still offering free trees to property owners in the region?
This was seven years ago, Adrian. We have not heard of any recent programs like this in the South Burnett (although the neighbouring Toowoomba Council has a voucher scheme for ratepayers). To double check, you could contact the SBRC on (07) 4189-9100.
