Council details the achievements of the Parks and Facilities Department
Mark Pitt, CEO of South Burnett Regional Council today released details of the achievements of the last three years focusing on the array of Parks and Facilities department outcomes.
“This department is one of the most highly scrutinised sections, with their work being on show for everyone to see,” he said.
The team have worked to restructure the Facilities and Parks services and functions while centralising facility upgrades and construction to one team.
They’ve also delivered the upgrade/refurbishment of the Nanango Administration and Library, while overseeing the sale of Cornish St to Plenty Foods (Proteco), the sale of Industrial Land to Parkside and the purchase of 195 Kingaroy Street Kingaroy, which has now become the Kingaroy Business Hub in partnership with the KCCI.
Mr Pitt added, “Each of these projects has led to benefits to the community in a range of ways. These may be access by organisations to dedicated space, better access to services or safety of those on site, or sale of vacant property, meaning an increase in rateable land. They have also sought alternative ways to streamline the business aspects of their roles.”
“Our staff are always looking for ways to improve the services to the community without negative impact on the budget. All sectors of our organisation are seeking to improve their service, while minimising impact on the community,” Mr Pitt said.
