October 30, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council will undertake public consultation about changing one of the region’s longest road names to something much shorter.<\/p>\n

At October’s Council meeting, Councillors were told a group submission suggesting renaming Brooklands-Pimpimbudgee South Road in Maidenwell to Beare Road had recently been received.<\/p>\n

The meeting was told the Beare family were pioneers in the area who bought land adjoining the road a century ago.<\/p>\n

The family had a long association with the district and a direct descendant still lived on the property.<\/p>\n

In particular, David Beare – the only son of Charles Beare – lived all his life on the family farm and ran a Poll Hereford stud there for many years.<\/p>\n

He was a well-liked and respected personality who had significant involvement in the community, frequently driving along the road to visit neighbours, and was a vital part of the local grapevine.<\/p>\n

“Davey was a real character, memorable to everyone who met him,” the meeting heard.<\/p>\n

“Tragically, he drowned on a creek crossing during a flash flood in February 1992.”<\/p>\n

Officers said the road has been referred to by several names in public mapping systems over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These included Pimpimbudgee Road, Brooklands-Pimpimbudgee Road and Brooklands-Pimpimbudgee South Road.<\/p>\n

These variations led to problems for emergency services.<\/p>\n

Council had originally been intending to standardise the name as Brooklands-Pimpimbudgee Road until the alternative submission was received.<\/p>\n

Officers noted the proposed new name conformed with Council’s road naming policy, but suggested public consultation should be carried out and a further report provided to Council once this was done.<\/p>\n

Councillors agreed.<\/p>\n

If the road name is changed, residents living along it will need to change their addresses.<\/p>\n

Council will also need to replace existing road signs with newer, much shorter ones.<\/p>\n
