Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan
A review of the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan is underway.
The existing plan was released in 2011. It's being reviewed to respond to the region’s changing economy and projected population increase. The review will also identify possible land use, infrastructure and industry development levers.
Wide Bay Burnett is home to nearly 300,000 people. With its enviable lifestyle, more people are expected to call the area home in the future. View the full economic profile.
This means more infrastructure, jobs and services need to be delivered for the region in a sustainable way.
The new plan will have economic strategy at its heart. It will provide a 25-year planning framework for the direction of Wide Bay Burnett.
Community members will be invited to share their ideas for the future of the region and participate in a number of community events when a draft plan is released.
Have your say
We recently completed a range of weekly quick polls with feedback gathered to develop the draft regional plan. You can continue to provide your ideas for the region below.

The decisions we make today will shape the Wide Bay Burnett of tomorrow.

Implement Flood Mitigation to bring confidence back to the Bundaberg Community
Since the 2013 floods very little has been done to protect Bundaberg from another flooding event. Combine this with the reduction of the Dam wall and you have a town in fear of a repeat or worse event. With Water security limited and no real flood action implemented over the past 10 years, the economy of Bundaberg has been compromised. The Local Government has done well to try and drive growth, however it will need significant State and Federal support to deliver protective infrastructure to allow people to feel safe in the community once again and drive development in and around the CBD. The East Levee bank is a no brainer, and a bigger dam should be considered, if it proves that it can reduce flooding events in the future.
