What is busking?

Busking is a musical or theatrical performance undertaken by a person:

(a) to entertain the public; and,

(b) seeking voluntary reward for the performance, on local government-controlled areas and roads.

Why allow busking?

Council is proud of its Central Business District precincts and open space areas, therefore, is keen for residents and visitors alike to avail themselves of a relaxed shopping/dining/townvisit experience within a safe and harmonious environment.

New aerodrome local laws adopted

Details

Last Updated on Friday, 07 December 2012 21:53

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has adopted an all encompassing local law that covers the aerodromes controlled by the Toowoomba Regional Council.

Previously, each of the aerodromes in Millmerran, Pittsworth and Toowoomba were governed by  separate  local laws inherited from the former councils of the regions in which they are situated.

The newly adopted local law is needed to ensure the safety and security of airside and landside activities and it enables Council to set fees and charges for use of the aerodromes.

On September 20, 2011 council agreed that the local law currently governing the Toowoomba Aerodrome be applied to the whole of the TRC area, taking the place of the current local laws governing the aerodromes individually.

The law governing the Toowoomba Aerodrome, Local Law No. 39 (Public Aerodromes)  of Toowoomba City Council is best suited to provide the basis of this new law as it provides a wider scope and addresses more issues than local laws currently governing the other aerodromes in the Toowoomba region.

In order to apply Local Law No. 39 (Public Aerodromes)  of Toowoomba City Council to the whole of the TRC area, it was necessary to make another local law, that is Toowoomba Regional Council Public Aerodromes (Application of Continuing Local Law) Local Law 2011.

Local Law No. 39 (Public Aerodromes) of Toowoomba City Council will be applied to the whole of the TRC area from 31 December 2011.
