The South Burnett Regional Council’s rehabilitation of the former works depot in Pound Street, Kingaroy, should be completed by Christmas.<\/p>\n

Over the past 12 months, Council has been working to decontaminate the land to remove restrictions on its future use.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pound Street Depot is on a State Government register as a contaminated site and before this land can be removed from the register the site needs to be decontaminated and clearance given by the State Government,\u201d SBRC Planning, Communities and Environment General Manager Stan Taylor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDecontamination will allow Council to have no impediment to any future use of the land.<\/p>\n

“The decontamination of the site has involved the removal of arsenic from the old cattle dip area, diesel-affected areas, bitumen wash down areas and a network of asbestos piping which at the time of installation would have been lawful.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil is in the final stages in removing the last stockpile, and subject to the outcome of current sampling, this procedure should be finished by Christmas and the next phase for Council is to have its consultant finalise a report to the State Government.<\/p>\n

“This report is a requirement of the State government legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said Council would decide the future of the land once the work was completed and the site was removed from the State Government’s Contaminated Land Register.<\/p>\n

\u201cOptions would be to sell the land or develop the site. We are currently looking at our options and any proposal will be brought to a Council meeting sometime in the New Year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
