Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) this week (June 17, 2025) endorsed an updated Toowoomba Region Sports Precinct (TRSP) Master Plan for the Charlton site, west of Toowoomba.
TRC Sport and Recreation Services portfolio spokesperson Cr Tim McMahon said the updated Master Plan retained key elements of the 2020 Master Plan, such as the premier hub and the number of rectangular fields but now incorporated the earlier inclusion of a tartan athletics track and the realignment of some facilities.
It also aids the site's future development by better incorporating aspects of the area's topography and geology with other improvements to roads (internal and access roads) and parking for cars and buses.
"We are committed to the original intent of the Master Plan, which is for the staged delivery of a high-class, regional sports facility that promotes the social wellbeing of the community and positions Toowoomba as a premier location for regional, state and national sporting competitions," Cr McMahon said.
"The TRSP will be developed across eight precincts with sporting fields catering for football (soccer), rugby league, rugby union, Australian Rules Football, cricket, softball and the athletics facility.
