North Burnett Regional Council, in partnership with the Queensland Government, is preparing “Walking Network Plans” for the towns of Gayndah, Mundubbera, Monto, Eidsvold and Biggenden.
“This project aims to develop plans for walking networks (paths) that are safe, connected and accessible for all community members. The planning, which will run until mid-2023, is jointly funded under the Queensland Government’s Walking Local Government Grants program,” Mayor, Les Hotz explained.
“Community stakeholder workshops will be held in the coming weeks to gain input and feedback from our communities, businesses, not-for profit sector and community groups in the planning stage of this project. These workshops are vital in developing “Walking Network Plans” which will guide Council’s works program for walking networks for the next 10 years and beyond,” Mayor Hotz continued.
