July 31, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yurika – part of Energy Queensland – and the South Burnett Regional Council are currently building a high-speed telecommunication fibre link to the South Burnett, with funding support from the State Government.<\/p>\n

A Council spokesperson said the project was valued at about $7 million.<\/p>\n

It will provide a new telecommunications link capable of carrying up to 100GB of data per second.<\/p>\n

Individual connections of up to 10GB per second will be available for businesses, schools and health providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The project follows the existing Energy Queensland network and will deploy in Kingaroy and Nanango with future stages possible for Wondai, Murgon, Cherbourg and Blackbutt,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

A major infrastructure telecommunication cabinet is currently being built in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

This unit will be wrapped with artwork by local artists Robert and Robyn Langton which was unveiled at Kingaroy’s NAIDOC celebration in Memorial Park earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
