Naming of Council Bore Sites
The Winton Shire Council currently operates with four (4) Artesian Bores strategically placed around the township. Specific details for each of the bore sites is provided below: -
| Bore No. | Reference | Constructed | Named | Water Lic. |
| 1 | RN407 | 1894 | Robert Allen | 403982 |
| 2 | RN14269 | 1960 | EC Phillott | 403982 |
| 3 | RN51918 | 1984 | EB Bryce | 403982 |
| 4 | RN118365 | 2005 | ? | 403981 |
Bore No. 2 was named after EC Phillott and Bore No. 3 after EB Bryce. At the September 2019 Council Meeting, Council resolved to name Bore No. 1 after Robert Allen (who named the Town of Winton). Council is also seeking to assign a name to Bore No. 4 which is located adjacent to the Geothermal Plant. To assist Council in this very difficult selection process, we invite suggestions from community members on who you feel the bore should be named after.
Your feedback can be directed to Miss Shannon Van Bael at the Shire Office or via email to shannonvb@winton.qld.gov.au before the closing date Friday 1 November 2019 at 4.30pm.
