A view looking southwards at McMahon Park in Murgon … the MILP disability housing project would use vacant land but preserve the park’s most popular features for public use<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 1, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Murgon Independent Lifestyle Project – a much-discussed plan to create disability housing in Perkins Street, Murgon – has moved a step closer.<\/p>\n

Public fundraising for the project has been under way in Murgon for at least three years.<\/p>\n

At an SBRC meeting in December 2023, Councillors voted unanimously to give Murgon Independent Lifestyle Project Inc an initial three-year lease over the southern end of McMahon Park so the group could seek funding to begin construction on the site.<\/p>\n

The proposed development would consist of 12 units plus a manager’s residence.<\/p>\n

Council will now consider the Development Application by the not-for-profit group after the public notification period closed on March 26.<\/p>\n
