Failures of TRC to deliver projects highlight urgent need to change

Toowoomba residents are being deprived of a better tomorrow due to the repeated failures of the

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) to deliver crucial projects, according to council candidate Gary

Gardner. Gardner asserts that the TRC's inability to execute on vital initiatives like the Jubilee Park Bike

Way and Railway Parklands underscores the urgent need for change in leadership.


"There are numerous examples of this council's failure to deliver for the people of Toowoomba," states

Gary Gardner.


"The lack of planning and urgency to deliver projects that have funding is a direct result

of our current council's complacency."


Gardner emphasises that the consequences of these failures ultimately impact the residents of the

Toowoomba region.


"The people of Toowoomba region are the ones losing out," he declares. "There are

plenty of grants available for our region, but the council needs to have a system in place to ensure that

they can deliver projects that they have asked for funding for."


Highlighting successful projects outside of council jurisdiction, such as the Toowoomba Hospital

Foundation Museum and Blue Care Toowoomba redevelopment and upgrade project, Gardner points

out that non-council entities are able to effectively utilise available funding.


Drawing from his extensive business experience, Gardner has encountered countless examples of

residents expressing genuine concerns about the slow progress of development in the region. He firmly

believes that a strong economy is the cornerstone of a strong community and asserts that Toowoomba

deserves a council that prioritises the interests of its residents.


As Gary Gardner continues his campaign for council, he remains committed to advocating for effective

governance and transparent decision-making that serves the best interests of the Toowoomba

community.
