February 17, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

A $5.3 million motel development on the D’Aguilar Highway is “one of the most exciting projects we have had in Kingaroy in recent years”.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell congratulated the project team and investors behind the Across Country Motels\u00a0development as they inspected the start of clearing on the site on Friday.<\/p>\n

The 42-room motel will be built on a vacant block on Walter Road \/ D’Aguilar Highway on the southern outskirts of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 will also include a 150-seat restaurant area and bar, board room, lap pool, manager’s residence and gazebo \/ barbecue area.<\/p>\n

Stage 2, which will be timed to coincide with the opening of Stage 1, will \u00a0consist of a Function Facility which can cater for 250 people. This will be designed as a multipurpose area suitable for training, mini-expos or displays.<\/p>\n

Across Country Motels managing director Seth Peady envisages the Function Facility would be a perfect area for car club displays, business meetings \u00a0or tourism events.<\/p>\n

Part-owner Kerrie Russell said she expected Monday-Thursday would attract the “working” business trade but the plan was to market the motel outside the area to attract weekend visitors.<\/p>\n

Weekend packages would be put together to target car clubs, aero clubs, anglers etc.<\/p>\n

“I think this is probably as exciting a project as we have had in the South Burnett. It is certainly one of the most exciting projects we have had in Kingaroy in recent years,” Cr Campbell said.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to bring a new focus in terms of accommodation and conferencing, catering for the business and tourism market.”<\/p>\n

Preliminary earthworks on the project will begin this week and then serious construction is scheduled to begin in March.<\/p>\n

Mr Peady said the opening date for the four-and-a-half-star motel would be at the beginning of October.<\/p>\n
