The Jimna Forest Action Group Inc (JFAGI) has advised that another assessment of the condition of the historic Jimna Fire Tower will be carried later this month.<\/p>\n

The 47m tall Jimna Fire Tower was built in 1977 and is claimed to be the tallest man-made wooden fire tower of its type in the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

Dave Wright, from JFAGI, said the DPI had engaged a contractor to carry out a condition assessment.<\/p>\n

“The next steps with the project will be informed by the site visit and condition assessment,” Dave said.<\/p>\n

JFAGI has also alerted residents that Queensland Hydro has advised that increased vehicle and truck movements will be occurring on Kilcoy-Murgon Road, Sunday Creek Road and Yielo Road from this month.<\/p>\n

This increase traffic is linked to the proposed Borumba Pumped Hydro project.<\/p>\n

There will be site vehicles, quarry deliveries and earthworks equipment involving large flatbed trucks with pilot vehicles travelling in convoy.<\/p>\n
