The South Burnett Regional Youth Council hosted this month’s Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce meet’n’greet.<\/p>\n

The get-together for local businesspeople was held at the Kingaroy Town Hall reception room on September 12.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Youth Council is made up of 13 young people from across the region who have been gaining experience and training in leadership.<\/p>\n

The program was extablished in 2022 to provide an opportunity for young people to advocate for their peers who live, work and study in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Members of the Youth Council spoke about their recent activities, which included organising the PigJam music and Pigs Can Fly art competitions which were run in conjunction with Kingaroy BaconFest.<\/p>\n

Stanwell General Manager (Southern Generation) Michael Joy provided an update about current activities and projects at the Tarong Power stations. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Joy congratulated the significant number of South Burnett young people who received acknowledgement and awards at the recent Darling Downs and South West Region Queensland Training Awards.<\/p>\n

Stanwell’s Chloe Chudleigh won the regional Bob Marshman Trainee of the Year award after completing a Certificate IV in Business.<\/p>\n

Mr Joy said the Tarong Power station would be celebrating its 40th borthday on May 4, 2024.<\/p>\n

He said it had been a very busy year for generation at Tarong with the team focussed on ensuring Stanwell\u2019s portfolio of generation assets were maintained and operating reliably.<\/p>\n

Tarong\u2019s current generation levels are similar to those in 2004.<\/p>\n

Unit 4 is currently out of service for a routine overhaul with the required workforce already staying in the area and supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n

Mr Joy also provided an update on the construction progress of the Battery Storage Project at Tarong, with a number of local suppliers providing services to its various stages.<\/p>\n
