This week Trevor Watts MP member for Toowoomba North and Mayor Paul Antonio unveiled plans for redevelopment of rail land in the Toowoomba CBD. Trevor Watts confirmed the project will involve State Government owned land between Ruthven, Russell, Bridge and Bellevue Streets, saying "the project will become the jewel in the crown of the city, on the same level as Southbank and Roma St Parklands in Brisbane".

Mayor Paul Antonio said " We could not be happier. It will be a catalytic project. We look forward to working with the State Government now the land has been opened up to ensure the project becomes a reality".
