The old Kingaroy wastewater treatment plant … hardly a piece of artwork<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 6, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey kids … how would you like your colouring-ins to be featured at a sewage plant?<\/p>\n

If that thought doesn’t grab you, this one should \u00a0… there are also great cash prizes to be won!<\/p>\n

Water treatment company Aquatec Maxcon – which designed and built Kingaroy’s new wastewater treatment plant – is sponsoring a colouring-in competition for all South Burnett schoolchildren to coincide with the plant’s official opening next month.<\/p>\n

The competition is open to all students enrolled at a school within the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is to involve local school students in celebrating the completion of the project by challenging them to do something a little bit out of the ordinary,\u201d South Burnett councillor Roz Frohloff said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a great opportunity for students to get enthusiastic about wastewater treatment and to have the chance to win some of the very generous cash prizes on offer from Aquatec Maxcon.”<\/p>\n

Mayor Keith Campbell said the new plant was a great asset for Kingaroy and the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not very often a small regional area like ours can lead the way in wastewater treatment technology,” he said.<\/p>\n

The plant is the first in Australia to use Nereda technology – developed in the Netherlands – which promises more efficient sewage treatment.<\/p>\n

The winning entries will be placed on display at the Kingaroy Wastewater Treatment Plant where they will be seen by the many national and international visitors the plant is attracting.<\/p>\n

The judging panel will be made up of representatives from Aquatec Maxcon and Cr Frohloff.<\/p>\n

Details of the competition are available on Council\u2019s website<\/a><\/strong> and hard copies of the entry forms are available at Council Customer Service Centres, or can be downloaded here<\/a><\/strong> (449kb PDF)<\/p>\n

All entries must be submitted to Council on A3 paper by Friday, May 12.<\/p>\n
