After several State Government Agencies have indicated their interest in the future of the Jimna Fire Tower, the Jimna Fire Tower Action Group JFTAG has resolved to assist the reformation of the Kilcoy Chamber of Commerce Inc., for the purpose of gaining the support of a local broad based, widely representative and nationally cognisedorganisation.

JFTAG has decided to seek acceptance as a sub committee of the Kilcoy Chamber of Commerce, which would provide greater support and professionalism in driving the project forward towards the original and ultimate goal of redeveloping the Jimna Fire Tower into a self funded tourist attraction / destination”. Other issues seriously restricting commerce derived from forest recreational activity in South East Queensland, like the “future commercial and public use” and “management policies” of State Forests and National Parks, can then be pursued from a stronger and more cohesive platform.
