Gladstone Regional Council has taken a significant step towards turning sod at the Boyne-Burnett Inland Rail Trail site from Reids Creek in Gayndah to Taragoola in Calliope.

GRC has released the project’s draft master plan for public comment, with everyone across the region invited to provide feedback, building on the engagement that took place earlier in the year.

Mayor Matt Burnett said council was interested in hearing from community members, whether they took part in the first stage of engagement or not.

“People are invited to go online to read the Master Plan and complete a feedback survey on Council’s Conversations platform,” Mr Burnett said.

“They can also see the previous community engagement results and read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s).

“If you are a community member interested in the Rail Trail or a potential Trail visitor, we invite you

to complete our short survey on this draft Master Plan to help us improve the design.”

Council received 426 contributions during the first phase of community engagement from April to May this year, which proved to be very beneficial to the project’s development.

They included responses to online surveys, social mapping, sharing ideas on the virtual post it wall, submitting questions and/or participating on the pop-up and open houses about the Trail.

This second stage of engagement will close on Sunday, August 15 with results revealed in early September.
