Mundubbera to Jandowae Roads Working Group

BIEDO is pleased to assist with the coordination of the Mundubbera to Jandowae Roads Working Group. As such, media releases and other information relevant to the Roads Working Group will be posted here on behalf of the Group.

​

The Mundubbera to Jandowae Roads Working Group was formed in 2017 to examine the issues and build a case to establish what funding is required for the state-controlled Mundubbera Durong Road and Chinchilla Wondai Road (from Durong toward the Western Downs Regional Council boundary). The Group is focused on ensuring this route can deliver on economic, community, tourism and disaster needs for the communities and the regions it connects. The Group will also examine the broader case for regional connectivity to transport hubs through the Burnett Inland region.
