Published on 10 March 2026
Gympie Regional Council is aware of comments circulating regarding correspondence issued to Corbet’s Group, a local business operating within the Gympie region.
The action relates to the sale of fuel to members of the public, which is not permitted under the site’s current development approval.
The property currently has development approval for a Transport Depot and High Impact Industry (Compost Manufacturing). Any additional use outside of these approvals requires the appropriate planning assessment and approval process.
Council has an obligation to enforce the requirements of its planning scheme and had been working with the business to support it in operating lawfully.
Council will continue to work with the business to resolve the matter in accordance with the relevant planning requirements.
