What is the KilkiVAN?
The KilkiVAN is a 12-seater commuter bus garaged in Kilkivan and used for community transport.
In 2020, a group of seven Queensland University of Technology 4th year Business School students investigated the provision of a community bus service in the district. Their comprehensive, professional report included a literature review, outlined suggested community engagement and marketing practices, and, most inspiringly, called the vehicle the KilkiVAN!
The vehicle was purchased with a $35,000 Gambling Community Benefit Fund grant and supplied by Ken Mills Toyota at Kingaroy.
Our drivers are all volunteers.
