Positive conversations with the South Burnett community about the Kingaroy Transformation Project (KTP)
The South Burnett community joined Councillor Danita Potter, Councillor Kirstie Schumacher and the KTP team at the first community consultations to present and discuss the draft designs
of Kingaroy’s shared areas on Tuesday 10 August 2021 at Kingaroy Shoppingworld.
These community consultations are an opportunity for residents to see the draft design concepts for Kingaroy’s shared areas, talk to the KTP team and understand the projected future outcomes for the region.
Councillor Danita Potter said the attendance for the community consultations has been amazing, leading to productive discussions with South Burnett residents.
“Day one brought over 40 conversations with different locals, all providing valuable, constructive feedback and genuine support for the KTP,” said Councillor Potter.
“I look forward to hearing what each person has to say about the inclusive infrastructure, the cultural elements, the safety considerations and the overall sustainability of these designs for the much-needed rejuvenation of the Kingaroy CBD,” she said.
Councillor Kirstie Schumacher said it is an exciting time for the South Burnett and encourages the community to get involved.
“It is great to listen and be part of so many positive conversations about the future of our region,” she said.
“I really hope residents take up the opportunity to look at the designs and provide their ideas. These developments are for the benefit of the whole community, so we really need our locals to understand that they have a voice, and we encourage them to share it with us,” said Councillor Schumacher.
