Shaping Our Future – Regional Development Strategy Online Survey


South Burnett Regional Council is calling on all community members to help shape the long-term
future of our region with the launch of a new, interactive online survey commencing Monday
19 October 2026.


The ‘South Burnett Regional Development Strategy 2027 – 2032’ will serve as the roadmap for local
infrastructure, economic growth, job creation and community services over the next five years. The
strategy is a high-level overarching policy that outlines ways to foster growth, develop the
workforce, attract investment and inspire innovation in the region.


The online survey gives every resident a direct voice in identifying the region’s current priorities and
future opportunities.


The anonymous feedback collected will be analysed and used to draft the strategic plan, which will
be released for public consultation in early 2027.


Let’s work together to position South Burnett as a leading regional economy in Queensland and
Australia.
