A total of 38 signs have been developed with each town or village having a unique background image to depict a theme of relevant significance, encompassing the rich history of the region. The catalogue establishes connections to the diversity of the region, recognising the links to historic indigenous titles, economic drivers, heritage or its natural beauty. The signage includes the symbol of the Wakka Wakka people, the carpet python, as recognition of the traditional owners of the region. The process for fabrication and installation of the signage will take a number of months to complete, with the installation expected to commence in December 2019 and completion in the first quarter of 2020. Council has released the signage catalogue for installation at the following locations: • Blackbutt • Kingaroy • Murgon • Nanango • Wondai • Benarkin • Bunya Mountains • Coolabunia • Crawford • Durong • Hivesville • Kumbia • Maidenwell • Memerambi • Moffatdale • Proston • Tingoora • Wooroolin For Media Enquires Contact: Deanna Byers, Communications Officer Telephone 07 4189 9539 Email: [email protected] Page 1 of 9 Finalisation of the catalogue will occur at the Council Meeting 18 September 2019. A full copy of the signage catalogue will be available on Council’s website until 8 September 2019 and for further information please contact Council’s Infrastructure Planning Department on 4189 9100.
