South Burnett Regional Council has released draft designs for more parts of the Kingaroy Transformation project.

The designs show the planned new Glendon Street “shared area” as well as a revamped area around the front of the Commonwealth and NAB banks and the head of the South Burnett Rail Trail.

Public feedback on the proposals will begin this week.

A Council spokesperson said information sessions would be held with local community groups as well at several “community engagement” sessions over the next three weeks.
