24th February 2025

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington is excited to reveal that the Crisafulli Government is delivering on its election commitment to improve accessibility at the popular Wondai Regional Art Gallery in the South Burnett.

Construction works have started this month on a covered outdoor extension, which will enhance accessibility and provide additional workshop space for the community.  Located in the former stationmaster’s house, the gallery is a true community hub, staffed by volunteers and hosts regular exhibitions, workshops and markets.

“The Wondai Regional Art Gallery is a wonderful asset, not only for the Wondai community but for the entire South Burnett region.” Deb said

As the local member, I’m very proud that the Crisafulli Government committed to this project before the election and is now delivering on that promise to the people of the South Burnett, to make the space more accessible.” 

“It serves as a fantastic space that brings people together and provides a vibrant platform for creative expression.” Said Deb

The delivery of this commitment recognises the important role the Wondai Regional Art Gallery plays in the community’s cultural life and visitor economy and cements its reputation as a vital showcase for arts in the South Burnett region.
