The Toowoomba Region is well placed to supply new housing lots for at least the next decade and beyond, according to state government research that was presented to a meeting with leading development industry figures at Toowoomba City Hall on Tuesday.
Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) Planning and Development Committee chair Cr Megan O’Hara Sullivan said attendees had a constructive discussion, including an overview of the South East Queensland Regional Plan, (covering the Toowoomba urban area), and associated growth monitoring data from Department of Treasury statisticians and TRC planners.
Cr O’Hara Sullivan said the Toowoomba Region rated most favourably in terms of the available supply of land for new hosing lots in comparison with other South East Queensland local authorities.
“Not surprisingly, parts of Logan and the growth corridors around Ipswich, which are experiencing high levels of growth, are leading the pack,” Cr O’Hara Sullivan said.
“The Toowoomba Region is ranked third among South East Queensland local authorities in terms of the available supply of housing land that is available to the market.
