Kilcoy Streetscape Revitalisation underway
Somerset Regional Council has started its community engagement on the Kilcoy Streetscape Revitalisation project.

Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the project will define the identity of Kilcoy.

“The project will build on what is already loved about the town to enhance its appeal for everyone,” Cr Lehmann said.

“The main outcome for this project will be the development of a master plan for the town centre and main streets.”

The project will consider pedestrian footpaths; street trees and shade; street furniture and opportunities for public art; entry and wayfinding signage and public gathering spaces.

To have your say on the project, complete an online survey before 11 June -

The Kransky Sisters are coming back to Esk

The Kransky Sisters are returning to their hometown in Esk for a special performance of their sell out show, Assorted Nuts, on Friday, 16 June at the Somerset Civic Centre.

Bringing stories of their misfit adventures paired with famous songs gleaned from their old wireless at home, these three eccentric sisters are set to serve up a real treat.
With their peculiar spin on popular songs played on an eclectic mix of instruments including musical saw, tuba, old reed keyboard, and kitchen pots, these oddball Queensland Sisters will leave you wanting more.
Tickets available at https://somersetciviccentre.sales.ticketsearch.com/sales/sales

Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 7.30pm
