The city of Toowoomba is Australia’s largest non capital inland city and is located in the State of Queensland (Qld). It has a population of close to 100,000. On March 15 2008 the city amalgamated with the seven Shire Councils to form a new Regional Council for 200,000 people. This is the largest amalgamation in Queensland. The GSE team met with the new Mayor, three of his councillors and the CEO.
The 2050 community plan was released last September. The City is proud of being named The Queensland Tidy Towns winner in 2007. The Garden City is an example of community-driven environmental improvements and sustainability in the regional and rural areas. An example of this is the continued high priority for the dwindling water levels and supplies and the respective management strategies (the storage dams are at 10% of capacity).
