to plan and local businesses are already benefitting from it, South Burnett Mayor Wayne Kratzmann told Wednesday&#8217;s Council meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The project&#8217;s first milestone report was submitted to the Queensland Government on August 28.<\/p>\n<p>Since that time, the Council has purchased:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>140 tonnes of timber bridge materials from a Brigooda sawmill,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>394 metres of handrails from a South Burnett engineering business,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tonnes of fixings (bolts and related materials) for the bridges from local businesses, and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>26 sets (156 frames) of chicanes from a local engineering firm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SBRC has also hired 10 local participants to help build the Rail Trail through South Burnett CTC under a Community Work Skills Traineeship Program.<\/p>\n<p>The workers will undertake construction work over a period of 18 weeks to achieve a Certificate II in Construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Council will build eight timber bridges between Kingaroy and Barambah Creek.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bridges will be structurally rated to accommodate service vehicles and will be built by a South Burnett contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Council has also commissioned a structural assessment of Tingoora Bridge, and will build a new bridge across Barambah Creek for rail trail users.<\/p>\n<p>Planting has begun along part of the Rail Trail from Burns Road through to Tingoora to provide shade and cover for users as well as vegetation corridors for wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>The SBRC&#8217;s second milestone report is due on February 26.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a
