Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington is inviting the community to comment on a proposal to name a gully just outside Nanango “Mangan Gully”.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the unnamed gully in South Nanango would honour an Anzac, Michael Mangan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Mangan settled in the Nanango district in 1919 following military service from 1914-1918 with the 15th Battalion AIF.”<\/p>\n

Mr Mangan fought at Gallipoli, France and Belgium.<\/p>\n

“After the war, Mr Mangan settled in the Nanango district and was granted leases over the properties through which the gully flows,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

“The gully flows in a north-westerly direction and crosses the D\u2019Aguilar Highway until it meets Peach Creek.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Frecklington said she supported the suggestion made by the South Burnett Regional Council to name the gully in honour of Mr Mangan.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the Place Names Act 1994, local residents and community groups are invited to have their say on the proposal.<\/p>\n

Properly made submissions will be accepted by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines until 5:00pm on Friday, January 23.<\/p>\n

Queensland Place Name Plan QPN1270<\/strong><\/a> shows the location of Mangan Gully and can be viewed at the DNRM Kingaroy Business Service Centre, 214 Kingaroy-Cooyar Road, Taabinga, and the South Burnett Regional Council Nanango Office at 48 Drayton Street, Nanango.<\/p>\n
