Council's Vision
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Toowoomba Region whose song lines traverse our lands. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the knowledge, rich traditions and bold ambitions of Australia's First Peoples.
Toowoomba Regional Council has a plan to make this part of Queensland an even more enjoyable place to live and work. Our long-term plan for creating a better future, forged from the contributions of local residents, businesses and organisations, is based on our Vision:
"The Toowoomba Region is a vibrant, inclusive and liveable region where respect for tradition and diversity is embraced"
This is our vision for an area that boasts extraordinary potential – promising employment opportunities, affordable housing, extensive health and community services, education facilities and countless sporting and cultural pursuits.
The Toowoomba Region – the best of city and country.
