Members of Toowoomba Regional Council's newest advisory panel last month met in the city to tour key CBD sites and discuss potential development and investment opportunities.
Nine members of the 12-member Toowoomba CBD and Railway Parklands Priority Development Area (PDA) Expert Advisory Panel, which was approved by Council in late 2020, met Councillors and Council staff before embarking on a city tour.
Toowoomba Region Mayor and Economic Development Committee chair Cr Paul Antonio said the panel members had specialist design and industry expertise which would greatly aid Council's decision making about future development and investment across the Toowoomba CBD and Railway Parklands PDA.
"The advisory panel will enhance Council's strategic work and design planning for future projects with additional work advising on the execution of CBD and PDA projects," Mayor Antonio said.
"The Toowoomba CBD is a major employer, a significant contributor to the regional economy and an important regional centre for many different services, drawing customers from our Region and areas in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
