A new community connect worker, timber bridge replacement, road and pathway improvements and infrastructure improvement studies have all been earmarked for the Gin Gin area in Council’s budget.
Bundaberg Regional Council handed down its 2023-24 budget on 27 June which featured a 0% increase to general rates, a doubling of the pensioner rates rebate and a $167 million capital program.
The capital program includes regionally significant items like the Bundaberg Aquatic Centre and a new Disaster Management Coordination Centre but it also features a range of projects in Gin Gin, South Kolan and surrounds in addition to non-capital initiatives, events and services.
