 A reply 

In response to your e-mail, and to the question you have posted on your talk page (back in November, ouch! Sorry!):

this account was blocked because it is registered to the South Burnett Regional Council. A regional council is a group of people, but a Wikipedia account is to be used by only one person. If you and the South Burnett Regional Council should at some future time part ways for whatever reason, will you retain control of the account, or will it pass on to your successor? Due to the username, the content of the userpage, and your use of plural pronouns, the obvious interpretation is the latter, rather than the former. As explained in our guidelines on ""role accounts"", this is not permitted.

Any and all members, employees, and/or representatives of the South Burnett Regional Council are more than welcome to edit Wikipedia articles without registering, or to register individual accounts with which to do so. 

I do appreciate your having gone to the effort to make public disclosure of any potential conflict of interest, but you're going about it the wrong way. A simple public statement on the userpage  ""I work for the South Burnett Regional Council; I sometimes edit pages pertaining to South Burnett, so this is a public disclosure of potential conflict of interest"" or something along those lines  will do.

Normally, I would offer to unblock this account if you could assure me (either here or in e-mail) that the account will be used by only one person. However, since this account has so few edits, it might be easier to simply start a new account(s).

Feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have any other questions; I will reply here.   "
