Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has endorsed the appointment of five community members to the Toowoomba Region Aerodromes Advisory Committee (TRAAC).
TRAAC chair, Cr Carol Taylor, said the new committee members included: Paul Coughran, Matt Handley, Marty Taylor, Veronica McCarthy and Raffi Greenleaf.
Cr Taylor congratulated the successful appointees and thanked other candidates who applied for the positions.
"I'm confident that the new committee, along with fellow elected representative Cr Edwina Farquhar, will assist Council with matters relevant to the Toowoomba City Aerodrome, the Millmerran and Pittsworth aerodromes and the Crows Nest emergency helipad," Cr Taylor said.
"The committee's role includes representing the interests of aircraft operators and aerodrome businesses to Council and the broader community, as well as assisting Council to identify trends and issues affecting aviation in the Region.
"There are opportunities for the committee to provide assistance and advice relating to specific aerodrome projects that are identified by Council or the community."
The committee's term will coincide with the current Council, ending in 2028.
The committee typically meets up to four times per year.
