Toowoomba Regional Council is working with the Queensland Government on a plan to deliver local public transport services and infrastructure.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Brent Mickelberg said it was time the Toowoomba region got the attention it deserved following years of neglect by Labor.
“The Crisafulli Government’s priority is to deliver and invest in the right services, at the right time and in the right location to increase access to health, jobs and education,” Mr Mickelberg said.
“We are getting on with the job, working with the Toowoomba Regional Council to plan and deliver public transport improvements that meet the needs of the community.”
Toowoomba Regional Council Mayor, Geoff McDonald said better, more accessible public transport would help make Toowoomba an even better place to live, work and raise a family.
“It’s exciting to start work with the Queensland Government to plan the improvements needed for our region’s public transport network,” Mr McDonald said.
“Improvements will support our Toowoomba Region Sustainable Transport Strategy, which is all about making sure our region is an attractive, healthy and affordable place to live.
“Creating better access to public transport means residents can leave the car at home, which will help shape sustainable travel choices into the future.”
