The South Burnett was represented at a regional workshop in Maryborough earlier this month which discussed priority projects across the region.<\/p>\n

The workshop was organised by the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Organisation of Councils (WBBROC), the umbrella organisation for the six councils in the Wide Bay region: South Burnett, Cherbourg, North Burnett, Gympie, Fraser Coast and Bundaberg.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council was represented by Mayor Brett Otto, Deputy Mayor Gavin Jones and Council CEO Mark Pitt.<\/p>\n

A Council spokesperson said a focus of the event was to discuss COVID-19 recovery projects which could kickstart an economic stimulus for the region.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said the workshop only covered preliminary discussions, however priorities discussed included:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Water discounts to help promote economic growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Roads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Attracting manufacturing businesses to the region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Promoting domestic tourism into and throughout the region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • School-based vocational training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \u201cThe WBBROC workshop gives participating Councils an opportunity to demonstrate to the community that we are continuing to lobby the State Government on the need to fund further COVID-19 recovery projects,” Mayor Otto said.<\/p>\n

            “These workshops are critical, enabling councils to work together to support communities in bouncing back from economic damage caused by the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
