Westbrook land for water treatment plant

Toowoomba Regional Council has acquired a property in Westbrook that will be the location of a future water treatment plant.

It’s a significant step to improve water security and support development in the high growth corridor.

Mayor Geoff McDonald said the land purchase enabled Council to lock in the location for the water treatment plant and position itself to take advantage of opportunities to obtain government funding to accelerate commencement of the project.

“Late last year we became aware of this opportunity and at the December Ordinary Meeting, Council authorised the CEO to negotiate the acquisition,” he said.

“This is a location that will help strengthen our network, support growth in the south-west and provide capacity through the existing Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply network.”
