North Burnett Regional Council is currently developing a Sport and Recreation Infrastructure and Strategic Plan. The Plan will provide a strategic framework for the management, provision and development of sport and recreation opportunities across the North Burnett. It will ensure there is a diverse range of sport and recreation facilities and spaces to meet the needs of the North Burnett community now and into the future.

The Plan is a community document and will be developed in conjunction with ROSS Planning. As a community document, your input is critical to create an accurate snapshot and a basis for developing recommendations for the future.
