Our sewerage system has surplus capacity. Electricity and communication services are readily available. Murgon is strategically located within a two to three hour radius of Brisbane and major coastal centres. The Wondai-Murgon Regional Airport is situated 10 minutes from Murgon and has a sealed 3,000 metre runway with night landing facilities. In the rural sector, irrigation water from Bjelke-Petersen Dam is changing the landscape with new crops such as grapes, olives, cotton and small crops taking over from traditional broad acre farming.
Aquaculture is another of our growing industries.
Since the construction of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam and the establishment of the wine industry, tourism in our region has increased many fold. There are untold opportunities in this area for people with vision who want to be part of this new, exciting and growing industry.
