South Burnett Regional Council is in the process of negotiating a new agreement with local tourism organisation, Visit South Burnett (VSB).
The agreement, for 12 months, will support VSB’s staff and volunteers “to continue to thrive and work toward financial sustainability and independence”.
A spokesperson said Council was also updating its Discover South Burnett website to ensure the information focuses on Council-owned and controlled assets, including the Boondooma and Bjelke-Petersen Dam caravan and recreation parks.
The website will include links to the Visit South Burnett website that focuses on promoting tourist businesses in the region.
The spokesperson reminded local residents they can enjoy a 10 per cent discount at the dams if they book at non-peak times.
Cr Jane Erkens said Council would continue to promote and operate the various Council-owned Visitor Information Centres, museums and art galleries throughout the region.
“Council continues to encourage residents to consider volunteering at the VICs and museums to share their local knowledge with visitors to the region,” Cr Erkens said.
