A dedicated $50 million pandemic response investment program has been approved by Council for the 2020/21 financial year. It comprises 64 projects that are being accelerated to stimulate economic activity across the Toowoomba Region.
This is part of our commitment to assist our community as we recover from the Coronavirus pandemic. This $50 million dollars represents expenditure over and above Council’s annual capital budget of $165M. The federal government stimulus package, providing a $25k grant to owner-occupiers building new homes, has resulted in a substantial increase in local land sales and demand for building trades. Toowoomba Region continues to provide excellent opportunities with a diverse economy, relatively affordable housing and an enviable lifestyle for its people. As much as possible, the $50 million pandemic response investment program will be implemented by using local suppliers of materials and services.
