Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington said South Burnett electricians have secured a common sense win for the region by securing a Wiring Rules Roadshow workshop for Kingaroy.
Mrs Frecklington said that up until now, the workshop had not visited the region, meaning local electricians had to travel either to the coast, Toowoomba or Brisbane.
This issue was first brought to my attention by Wondai electrician, Mr David Brocklesby, who felt it was unacceptable that the South Burnett kept getting overlooked,” Deb said.
Mr Brocklesby explained that the Wiring Rules Roadshow is necessary for electricians to attend to ensure they are fully up to date with wiring regulations and procedures, but having to travel for hours needed to be changed.
“The outcome we’ve achieved is that the Electrical safety Office organized a workshop for Kingaroy for our local electricians. It’s about time and I look forward to it continuing,” Mr Brocklesby said.
“This may seem like a small win, but in reality, this means less travel, less time wastage and less hours away from business and family to attend these important training workshops,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“It seems like our region is forgotten by Brisbane based departments when they organize these types of events, so it is great to finally have the region ‘put on the Wiring Rules roadshow’ map.
