A community event was held in Murgon last Friday (May 16) to mark the official completion of several Council projects in Lamb Street and Queen Elizabeth II Park.
The projects were funded by the State Government’s 2021-24 Works For Queensland (W4Q) program, and were part of $5.63 million allocated to the South Burnett.
The Murgon works, worth $292,383, included five new tables and chairs in QEII park, solar lighting and CCTV in the park, a PA system, new paths and the refurbishment and repainting of the rotunda.
The completion of these projects was officially unveiled by Member for Nanango, Attorney-General Deb Frecklington and South Burnett Mayor Kathy Duff.
Also celebrated at the event was the unveiling of three plinths which explain the significance of artwork plaques which have been embedded in the Lamb Street footpath.
Two of the plaques were designed by well-known Cherbourg artist, Aunty Venus Rabbitt, who unveiled the plinths and explained their significance.
They depict an owl and a carpet snake which embody significant meanings to Wakka Wakka people.
The third symbol depicts the South Burnett Regional Council logo.
The community event also included a free barbecue.
