Murgon’s Jubilee Pool will be getting a solar-powered pool heating system installed during the off season, and so will Wondai’s pool (Photo: SBRC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 29, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three South Burnett public swimming pools will be getting important upgrades over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Murgon’s Jubilee Pool in Gore Street will be getting a solar pool heating system installed.<\/p>\n

Wondai’s pool in Mackenzie Street will also be getting a solar-powered heating system, along with a new pool filtration system.<\/p>\n

And Nanango’s Aquatic Centre will be getting its grandstands replaced and new floor coverings installed in the kitchen area.<\/p>\n

Rusted steel supports and plastic grates around the Aquatic Centre’s hydro pool will also be replaced, along with the pool’s valves.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A contract to repair the roof of Ringsfield House in Nanango has been awarded to Campbell Construction Company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Site preparation and security fencing were installed early this month so work could commence.<\/p>\n

The project is being partly funded by a grant from the Department of Local Government, and partly by the South Burnett Regional Council.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Four units at Council-owned public housing in Nanango will be getting an upgrade over the coming month. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The SBRC has awarded a contract to Paul Reeves for the renovation of two bathrooms at the Brighthaven Units and another two bathrooms in the Drayton Units.<\/p>\n

Work has already begun and are due to be completed by the end of June.<\/p>\n

A federally funded project to build a footpath connecting Cherbourg to Murgon has been put on hold due to COVID-19 restrictions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Council is working with artist Venus Rabbitt to paint an owl and a serpent as part of the disk display on the new footpaths being installed in Murgon’s CBD.<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy, the peanut thresher usually located behind Kingaroy’s Visitor Information Centre will now be restored and repainted by a local contractor, again due to COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

Council said the change would ensure the restoration could be completed in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A disused above-head fuel storage located at the Council’s Wondai Depot was recently removed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two small buildings will also be removed from the depot in the near future.<\/p>\n

The disposal of these will improve traffic management in the depot and ensure Council complies with Workplace Health and Safety regulations.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The South Burnett Rail Trail was recently slashed, and Council staff are now re-oiling the trail’s chairs and safety markers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surface maintenance has also been undertaken on some parts of the trail.<\/p>\n

Later this year – thanks to the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Program funding – a footpath will be built to connect the trail to the toilets and picnic table opposite Memerambi’s Stop Shop.<\/p>\n

The same program will also pay for a picnic table to be erected on the trail near Barambah Creek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
