August 25, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

An appeal has been lodged in the Planning and Environment Court against a decision by the South Burnett Regional Council to reject a Development Permit for a 24-hour truckstop in Nanango.<\/p>\n

Council knocked back the application at its July meeting after receiving a direction from the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA).<\/p>\n

The project would have included hi-flow diesel bowsers, truck parking spaces and an above-ground diesel tank.<\/p>\n

Entry to the site would have been via dual entrances off Henry Street.<\/p>\n

Liberty Amber Custodian Company Pty Ltd has named both the SBRC and SARA in its appeal, which was filed with the court on August 19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company claims SARA erred in its assessment of the application, saying its proposal could have been “conditioned” to overcome the objections raised by SARA.<\/p>\n

SARA claimed the proposed development did not protect the safety of users of the State-controlled road (Henry Street \/ D’Aguilar Highway); would increase the likelihood or frequency of accidents; and would affect the functional requirements of the road.<\/p>\n

Liberty Amber says the development would not impede traffic and the proposed site layout could be conditioned to achieve safe and efficient entry and exit.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, local residents organised a petition against the proposed development at 17 Henry Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
