welcome
Welcome to our 15th edition of BOLD.
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas
and New Year. We’re very privileged to live in
a safe and welcoming community where we
can celebrate peace over the jolly season.
With the start of a New Year comes many
New Year’s resolutions, and often these can
revolve around fitness. The beginning of the
year is when motivation and enthusiasm are at their highest, but it’s
important that you can maintain your commitment all year round. In this
edition, we’ve included some helpful tips to ensure you can develop
great exercise habits and stay motivated to reach your fitness goals.
The Toowoomba Region has rich traditions and bold ambitions in the
sporting arena. Our annual Coca-Cola QLD PGA Championship will
see its 10th anniversary this year, and this edition includes a recap of
the past ten years’ winners.
The warmer months are upon us and it’s a fantastic time to visit your
local pool. In January, our regional pools will host pool parties for the
community to relax and escape the summer heat. Read on to find
details and dates for the pool nearest to you. January and February
will also see our annual Summer Tunes program, which provides a
fantastic opportunity to relax in our beautiful parks and enjoy some
A1 musical entertainment. Visit www.tr.qld.gov.au/events for more
information about summer events.
While we continue through one of our toughest droughts in the past
century, it’s vitally important that we conserve water wherever we can.
This edition includes a breakdown of our water consumption habits
by township, indicating which communities are doing well and which
communities could improve their habits.
2018 was a very productive and rewarding year for infrastructure
projects within our region. In this edition we recap two recently
completed upgrade projects that will improve safety and accessibility
and encourage growth within our region.
I hope you enjoy this edition of BOLD. Our team always welcomes
feedback to make sure we deliver a publication that is enjoyable
to our residents. If you would like to share your thoughts on this
publication please email [email protected]
