24.01.2022 Have you ever tried yoga? Myself and Cr James O'Shea gave it a try this week as part of Toowoomba Region’s change project. This award winning idea seeks to get our Region fit, healthy and moving by offering a variety of low or no cost health and fitness ideas. ... I must say I was nervous trying this. I was a bit sore the next day but actually enjoyed it. Thanks to Brikman Yoga for partnering with TRC for this initiative. Check out our Change Project! Everything from Jamie Oliver to karate classes!
24.01.2022 Great to see David Crisafulli MP, leader of the LNP in Queensland and deputy leader in Queensland David Janetzki MP (my local member) last night. A tremendous night celebrating the opening of Toowoomba’s first certified passive house in Kearneys Spring. This house is changing the game in design, heating and cooling in green, energy efficient ways. It’s a real asset to our Region that can be heated by a hairdryer. ... House designed by LAB designs, built by Nathan at Titanium Homes and bought to market by RealWay Lifestyle Marketing by Flair Marketing and PR Salt Studios Commercial I look forward to seeing more of this ingenuity in our housing market. #toowoombaregion #toowoombaliving #toowoombalocal #thefutureisbright
22.01.2022 The RWJ Group and their subsidiary Rawinkk are a great example of businesses in Toowoomba Region who are class leaders in the national and international market. This hardwood sleeper was very light and digitally printed before our eyes on an MDF composite. The printer is the only one in the world doing pinpoint accuracy, UV cured, instant dry designs at this level. These guys are changing the design game with clients throughout Australia and are huge in the resort market. T...hey are a great asset to our Region. Cr Nancy Sommerfield - Toowoomba Regional Council, Councillor Rebecca Vonhoff for TRC and Megan O'Hara Sullivan doing the heavy lifting with me.

21.01.2022 Made some new friends today. Great to have the guys from Queensland Murray Darling Catchments Aboriginal Rangers in town sharing knowledge and ideas with staff from Toowoomba Regional Council and QRFS Queensland Fire and Emergency Services - QFES We continued to talk preventative burning, as well as what they are doing out west dealing with Indian Mynas, carp and wild dogs and pigs. Great connections and learnings across borders. Thanks for the continued work so many do to keep our country beautiful.
18.01.2022 Green fields + + = heaps of mowing! Watch to see what we are doing about it.
16.01.2022 First sod turning on the upgrade to the facilities at Nell E Robinson yesterday. This facility was built in 1981 and is in need of repair. It hosts over 1500 netball players most Saturdays. Very proud that this has been brought forward as part of Council’s pandemic response budget to get shovel ready projects happening. ... The new facility will focus on accessibility, for all levels of experience, ages, gender and mobility. Works are set to be completed mid next year. Pictured here with @mayorpaulantonio @geoffmcdonaldtrc @james_osheatrc, TRC staff, @netballqueensland_ reps and the construction team from Taddio Building Group, who have successfully tendered for this project. Can’t wait to see it up and going.
16.01.2022 Carnival Lane is now open! Great to be at the opening today with friends. The elephant in the room is actually a picture from Carnival in 1949. ... This is a great community asset that I’m most proud of. It connects our CBD and is a strategic part of our CBD revitalisation.
14.01.2022 Exciting to be at The Circus! I’m glad this has come to Toowoomba. My family and I had a super fun time. Dad loved the motorbikes! masking wearing was necessary today. At least on entry and exit- Happy to play our part in keeping us all safe and well. ... Thanks for visiting @thegreatmoscowcircusextreme. Make sure you check it out- in town until 24 Jan. #toowoomba #toowoombaregion #toowoombaliving #toowoombalife
13.01.2022 Today I stopped in to see our TRC parks staff at Laurel Bank park with Cr James O'Shea I haven’t had much of a chance to see these guys since Carnival, however it was great to thank them for their tireless commitment to making our Region shine in September and throughout the year. Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers remains one of the jewels in our state and national tourism crowns. It is these guys who deliver our world-standard gardens- some up to 35 years in a row. ... Thanks is an understatement. I know they are already planning for 2021.
13.01.2022 Pets can be a great surprise for Christmas. However, TRC Animal Management Centres often see many unwanted cats and dogs coming in after Christmas. Remember that pet ownership is a long term commitment. Check with the recipient before purchasing dogs or cats this Christmas. Have a blessed, paw friendly Christmas! ...

12.01.2022 It was great to drop into Highfields Falls this morning to see the great work being done by volunteers from Friends of Land for Wildlife Toowoomba stripping the privet bushes and planting natives in their place. Students from Toowoomba Christian College joined them for this project as part of their end of year community service commitments, which is a great initiative. Our parks constantly battle invasive weeds. It is great that volunteer groups spend the time to keep them ...looking beautiful. TRC can play its part through our grants program and continuing to make it accessible for volunteers to volunteer. Thanks Penny, Max, Kelly and Jane from FEP and TCC. #toowoombaregion #highfields #thefutureisbright
09.01.2022 Out to Cooby Dam Camp Cooby this afternoon for some canoeing with the TRC youth leaders. It was great to see these guys and the work they are doing to promote Toowoomba Region to younger citizens. I met Tyla and Karenza, (pic2) when I joined them in a canoe doing some recon on our dam levels. Cooby is LOW, but we all knew that. ... Pic3 - one of my old students @anjovanheerden who now does a fantastic job working with youth during uni holidays. TRC youth grants are a new initiative just passed at our December meeting. Council will fund young people doing great things for our Region. Get online and check it out. #thefutureisbright
07.01.2022 Was great to be at the first ever Mercy Community Cams Cup Spring Intercultural Football Carnival this weekend. Football is the world game and has the power to unite people like little else. It was great to see so many cultures coming together to compete in this contest held here in Toowoomba. Our Region is a leader in multicultural excellence. We do it better than most. I was happy to give the first kick off and celebrate this carnival in Toowoomba. ... Thanks to Mercy Community for putting on such a great event. #toowoombaregion #toowoombasoccer
05.01.2022 Great to have my whole family with me today as Council officially opened the Tobruk Memorial Drive Lookout. This new addition to our escarpment, behind Picnic Point, will be a further highlight to our Region. It is essentially 3 lookouts in one, there is around 5000 new plants planted as part of this. It is an amazing place that boasts our world class views of Tabletop and the valley. Head down and check it out. ... @landscapesolutions have done a great job delivering this project.
04.01.2022 Today is International Day of People with Disability. Privileged to spend time today hearing from the movers and shakers of our Region and beyond. We are doing some amazing work in this space and we shouldn’t forget the vital role we all play. 1. With Alyce Nelligan, Sharon Boyce, Josh Marshall, Michael Brampton-Hore, Kim Stokes Communications, Jon Crisp, Paul Wilson and Petria Grabham to celebrate what is being done in our own backyard. ... 2 Great to host Vicky and Kathryn Lyons at City Hall, up from Logan. Their business, Accessibili-t is changing the game on a state, federal and international level, we talked walking paths and disabled toilets that are actually fit for purpose. (Did I mention they have presented to the UN?) w/ Megan O'Hara Sullivan and Cr James O'Shea Happy to chair TRC’s Disability Access committee this term of council and contribute to the great work being done for disability recognition, access and inclusion. #idpwd #idpwd2020 Inclusion Access
03.01.2022 Very encouraging to sit down with the exec and members of the Toowoomba Mountain Bike Club last night and talk about solutions. There are a number of issues that have arisen lately, all complex in nature. We put all the cards on the table and looked for a way to continue to work with ALL stakeholders for the continued growth and profile of this sport in @toowoombaregion . I must say, the passion for our trails around this table was infectious. Our mountain biking trails are ...a tremendous community asset, often built by volunteers. Local bike shops are doing a roaring trade as this sport continues to build momentum. I have said many times that our escarpment is the envy of many. Careful planning and management are key as we move forward.
01.01.2022 Thought I’d sneak out in between rain showers for a quick mow today. I admired how green the back lawn was becoming after only a few rain days. My joy was short lived, however. It ended up being one of my worst moments of #dadlife ... Yep. I’m that guy. I mowed the Christmas lights. Lucky they are solar. Sorry fam.
01.01.2022 Attn Kingsthorpe and Oakey Happy to announce that TRC is in the process of delivering new dog off-leash parks for your areas! Council has 24 current dog off-leash parks and will be adding two more shortly. ... Dog owners of these towns should have their say on how these parks should look through our consultation program, at yoursay.tr.qld.gov.au Submissions close December 14. These will be great initiatives for our Region.
