Investing in Infrastructure

As a Mining Engineer I have spent my life building and maintaining infrastructure. Investment in infrastructure is necessary to sustain the future growth of our Region, and to support our aim of becoming the largest inland freight hub in Australia.

As the Toowoomba Region grows, it is critical that all levels of government cooperate to deliver the roads, bridges and other civil infrastructure needed to support the expansion of our community.
