Since the March 08 amalgamation of the former Esk and Kilcoy shires there has been unprecedented focus on tourism in the Kilcoy and Jimna areas, with particular  regard to upgrading the administration of the relevant tourist information centres. Recent events such as the presentation to tourism volunteers function at Yowie Park Kilcoy followed by the volunteer training workshop at Fernvale Futures Centre, was not only thoroughly appreciated by all who attended, but sends a strong message that the new Somerset Regional Council SRC is serious about promoting tourism throughout the entire Somerset Region. The Jimna Fire Tower Action Group JFTAG has for some time been calling for all levels of government to be more proactive in the promotion of regional tourism, and after several recent visits to the Jimna area by SRC tourism officers, JFTAG extend’s deep appreciation for the sharing of information, assistance offered, and the expert advice and encouragement. JFTAG remains hopeful that these events are signs of increasing recognition for nature based tourism and forest recreation in the Jimna Ranges and adjacent Conondale National Park, which helps to create a positive platform for imminent discussions with SRC regarding future ownership of the Jimna Fire Tower.
