FLASHBACK: The gate at the top of McCauley Weir Road about the time the campaign to reopen the weir began<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 8, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE 3:25pm: southburnett.com.au has been informed by Council this event has been cancelled.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council has invited interested residents to have their say about the future use of McCauley Weir at Nanango.<\/p>\n

The weir has been open for public use since February under a trial where users have had to pay a deposit to Council for a loan key to unlock the gate at the top of the access road.<\/p>\n

The trial followed a long campaign by some local residents, dating back to 2012, to have the weir reopened for recreational use.<\/p>\n

Other residents vehemently opposed the reopening of the access road, even on a limited basis.<\/p>\n

A Council spokesperson said the public was invited to attend a public consultation session to be held this Thursday (May 9).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council staff will meet attendees near the gate – located on McCauley Weir Road off Old Esk North Road – at 5:00pm.<\/p>\n

“The community is encouraged to attend and provide Council with feedback regarding the future use of McCauley Weir,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
