South Burnett Mayor Brett Otto has welcomed a statement by local member and Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington that an LNP State Government would support key roads projects across the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

In a media release on October 19, Mrs Frecklington said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been fighting for the final section of Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Rd to be sealed, to improve the main connector to the popular Bunya Mountains.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll also want to see funding for the Mundubbera-Durong Rd to widen an 11km single-lane section which is critical for the economic prosperity of our region, in particular for primary producers and transport companies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mayor Otto said Council had highlighted the importance of the Mundubbera-Durong Road and the Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road in its pre-election advocacy document presented to candidates over recent weeks.<\/p>\n

He said he had been “actively engaging” with both of the major political parties over these key roads.<\/p>\n

“Roads are critical infrastructure underpinning our region\u2019s economic development and I\u2019m pleased to see the Opposition Leader\u2019s commitment to these vital assets within the South Burnett,” Mayor Otto said.<\/p>\n
