Welcome to Bundaberg Regional Council - former Kolan Shire Council

The former Kolan Shire Council is located in the town of Gin Gin and was formed in 1879.  The shire has an area of 2,650 square kilometres, has a population of 4,541 and is part of the North Burnett within the Wide Bay region. The Burnett River  runs mainly south of the shire, whilst the Kolan River traverses the northern part of the shire incorporating Lake Monduran Recreation Area.

Lake Monduran, the Shire's premier tourist destination, is much more than a water irrigation scheme.  It is the home of the Annual Family Fishing Classic where keen anglers compete for fresh water Barramundi and Australian Bass.  In fact, the lake is 17% larger than Sydney Harbour and contains modern camping facilities attracting numerous visitors looking for water recreation, bush walking and bird watching.

Fred Haigh Dam / Lake Monduran flowed over the spillway in early 1977 (pictured above), and is currently at 19% of capacity as per the Sunwater website - Water Storage Information .
