Live, learn, work, play: strong regional pride

- -Geoff McDonald, Toowoomba Region Council candidate

IT HAS been my privilege to serve the community as a Toowoomba Regional Councillor since 2012 and the enormous responsibi­lity is not lost on me.

Born and raised in Toowoomba, our local family business dates back five generation­s to 1901.

For eight years now as your elected representa­tive, I have shown my passion for great community outcomes – my enthusiasm to every task undertaken and the experience of listening to concerns and desires of the community.

My vision for the region is simple: to make the Toowoomba Region the most desirable place to live, learn, work and play.

How do we achieve this? Balance economic growth and liveabilit­y

Focus on protecting and preserving our precious environmen­t, heritage and culture

Celebrate and support our regional diversity Maintain a focus on Council’s long term financial sustainabi­lity

Support health and safety of each community member One of the greatest strengths of the Toowoomba Region is the uniqueness and diversity of the townships spread across a 13,000sq km footprint.

The Toowoomba Regional Council has introduced incentives and grants to support our townships, however there is opportunit­y to evaluate the success of these.

Council can develop even more ways to celebrate and support every township across the region.

If you want a councillor with genuine care and passion for the Toowoomba Region with experience, enthusiasm and a proven track record, vote Geoff McDonald.
