Kingaroy Shire Council - Daily Events Calendar

Kingaroy Shire Council

The internet is a wonderful source of knowledge and you can obtain a lot of the State and Federal Government information materials we make available at our Kingaroy offices directly online.
You should note these three points, though:
1. Many of the State and Federal Government web servers we link to are less reliable than our own. This means that sometimes they may be temporarily unavailable. In such a case you should try again later.
2. Some State and Federal Government agencies periodically reorganise their web servers. This will break our link to a particular page of information they hold. In such a case we'll correct or remove the link as soon as we're aware of it (you can send us an email and tell us about it if you like!)
3. All links appear in new browser windows. This allows you to visit several sites quickly without leaving our own. This can be helpful if you're looking for certain types of information or if you're not quite sure where it might be.
We add useful new links whenever we come across them . We also remove dead links as soon as we're advised of them.
In addition, we audit our links quarterly to ensure they stay as up-to-date for you as possible.
