December 3, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday was International Day Of People With A Disability – and the South Burnett Regional Council wants disabled people to know they have not been forgotten.<\/p>\n

A Council spokesperson said Council had been concentrating on providing “inclusive” parking in recent projects.<\/p>\n

“The lessons learnt whilst delivering the Murgon works have highlighted the need for strategically placed inclusive parking bays that accommodate all people with mobility concerns,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

In Murgon, two “green bays\u201d have been created for the elderly and parents with prams.<\/p>\n

Planning is in the early stages for Blackbutt where several inclusive parking bays are planned in the main street.<\/p>\n

More accessible parking was also identified as one of the top priorities for the Kingaroy Transformation Project.<\/p>\n

There are currently 14 on-street disabled parking spaces; upon completion of the project, this will increase to 30.<\/p>\n

As well, an extra seven “green bays” will be added for senior citizens. These spaces will be sited beside disability parking bays, sharing kerb ramp access to the footpath.<\/p>\n
