Public consultation for the first stage of Kingaroy’s multi-million CBD upgrade seems likely to occur in March or April.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell said he will be meeting with JFP Urban Consultants (JFP) next week.<\/p>\n

JFP were commissioned to start design work on the Kingaroy project last November.<\/p>\n

The company previously worked on the Nanango Town Centre streetscape project.<\/p>\n

Mayor Campbell said he hoped next week’s meeting would help the Council set a firm timeline for when the public consultation process can begin.<\/p>\n

It is believed the streetscaping project would include construction of a large sealed car park on vacant railway land at the rear of Haly Street’s shops that would connect to the existing King Street carpark.<\/p>\n

Haly Street and part of Kingaroy Street – possibly as far as Markwell Street – would both be beautified.<\/p>\n

Depending on public feedback, the upgrade may also include the closure of part of Glendon Street so the Town Hall forecourt could be extended across the road to form a “civic square” town centre.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and Industry expressed strong interest in being involved in the project at its December meeting.<\/p>\n

Several other groups are also understood to be keen to have a say.<\/p>\n

Mayor Campbell said he expects the designers to develop concept drawings to show what changes are being proposed, in a similar way to the Nanango CBD, Blackbutt Memorial Hall and Wondai Town Common projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I think these are essential for any public consultation process,” the Mayor said.<\/p>\n

“People want to see what the changes might look like, not chat about ideas.”<\/p>\n

In December, the Council voted to apply for a $2 million grant from the infrastructure stream of the Building Better Regions Fund.<\/p>\n

If its grant application is successful, the Council will also contribute $3 million of its own funds towards the project.<\/p>\n

Work on the CBD upgrade is expected to begin next financial year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
