Toowoomba Regional Council's continued commitment to support local business was high on the agenda as a delegation visited Queensland's corridors of power Tuesday this week (29 March).
Toowoomba Mayor Paul Antonio and Deputy Mayor Councillor Geoff McDonald lead a delegation to Queensland State Parliament where they met various State Government Ministers and advisors to further the interests of the Toowoomba region.
These meetings included important sit downs with a number of Ministers including Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer MP, Minister for Tourism, Innovation and Sport and Minister Assisting the Premier on the Olympics Stirling Hinchliffe MP and Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing and Minster for Water Glenn Butcher MP.
Mayor Antonio said Minister Farmer was particularly complimentary about Council's continued commitment to support local business through procurement initiatives that give strong preference to local suppliers.
