The “Advocacy Action Plan 2022, Our Priorities For A Stronger South Burnett” was officially launched on Wednesday by Mayor Brett Otto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It promotes the infrastructure and funding needs of the region.<\/p>\n

“Funding decisions on water, roads, industry, digital access and social services are highly competitive.<\/p>\n
