The Tarong Business Program was a project designed to encourage contractors
at the
Tarong North power station construction site to use local goods
and services.

The program itself was an initiative of Kingaroy Shire Council's Economic
Development Unit and was sponsored by:
The generous assistance and support of our founding sponsors made the original
southburnett.biz web site possible. And when the Tarong Business Program
concluded in 2002 it was generally felt the site was so useful for the South
Burnett region as a whole that it should be continued.
southburnett.biz is now maintained by the
Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and
Industry on behalf of Kingaroy Shire Council . Since the conclusion
of the Tarong Business Program it has received additional funding from the
Tarong Coal Community Development Fund for ongoing maintenance.
The current version of the site you're viewing (version 3) was launched in
February 2005.
