Council has missed out again on funding for the multi-million dollar Kingaroy CBD Revitalisation project.<\/p>\n<p>Council had sought $4 million from the Federal Government to get the much-discussed project off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, Council had planned to add $4 million of its own funds to the project.<\/p>\n<p>At a special meeting held in November last year, councillors voted to apply for $4 million infrastructure funding from Round 3 of the Building Better Regions Fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The total of $8 million would be spent on:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Refurbishment of the Hector Munro car park behind the Commonwealth Bank in Kingaroy Street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Revitalisation of Haly Street between Kingaroy and Youngman streets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Revitalisation of Kingaroy Street to the Kingaroy and Alford street intersection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Revitalisation of Alford Street West, between Kingaroy and Youngman streets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Street trees planted throughout the CBD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Caravan parking bays in Glendon Street, opposite Kingaroy Shoppingworld<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>However, the results of\u00a0Round 3 of the Federal Government&#8217;s Building Better Regions Fund have been announced and the Kingaroy project is not among them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nine not-for-profit groups and councils in the Wide Bay Burnett were successful.<\/p>\n<p>Round 3 was highly competitive with 915 applications received in two streams: for Infrastructure Projects and Community Investments.<\/p>\n<p>South Burnett Regional Council had previously applied for\u00a0$2 million in Round 2 of the funding program for the Kingaroy project, but that was knocked back last June.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>On Thursday, Mayor Keith Campbell said he was disappointed Council&#8217;s second application had been unsuccessful, but this would not prevent a start being made on upgrading Kingaroy&#8217;s CBD.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He said Council&#8217;s engineers were currently developing costings for two projects, and they would be brought to a Council meeting for approval in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>One of them was an upgrade of the current parking area behind Kingaroy Street&#8217;s banks to allow caravan parking as well as cars; and another was the introduction of caravan parking bays in Glendon Street.<\/p>\n<p>Some work on upgrading associated underground infrastructure would also be carried out as part of both projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These two projects were both identified as high priority items during Council&#8217;s public consultation meetings,&#8221; the Mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other parts of the CBD upgrade will be rolled out progressively as funds permit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>* *
