Southern Downs councillors have voted in favour of the installation of a Big Thermometer sculpture in Stanthorpe’s Rotary Park on the banks of Quart Pot Creek.
The plan was discussed at last week’s general council meeting in Warwick.
The Big Thermometer has been commissioned by the Stanthorpe Chamber of Commerce and will be a 10-metre tall by four-metre wide stone-finished thermometer made of local granite, to feature as a tourist attraction in Queensland’s coldest town.
Councillors agreed to fund a caravan parking bay near the sculpture, a concrete footpath and vegetation removal to enable its installation at a cost of $31,418.
