$10m Railway Goods Shed Refurbishment Officially Opened
Residents are invited to inspect
The doors have officially opened on the $10 million Railway Goods Shed refurbishment project.
The first stage of TRC's bold plans to transform Toowoomba’s Railway Parklands were revealed at Wednesday’s official opening.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio said the opening of the heritage-listed Railway Goods Shed marked the completion of Stage One of the Toowoomba Railway Parklands Master Plan and the wider Priority Development Area (PDA).
“It’s an exciting day to link a facility so entwined with the region’s early railway history to a bright new era for our rapidly evolving CBD. I’m positive that the revitalised Railway Goods Shed will become a valued, mixed use community and events facility.
Council has bold ambitions for this site as it offers a once-in-a-generation chance to transform the inner city. We envisages that the parklands surrounding the Railway Goods Shed will be developed in stages with timing subject to available funding support. The rest of the PDA will be developed by the private sector over the next 20 to 30 years with the parkland being a catalyst for that investment.” – Mayor Antonio
Residents are invited to inspect the refurbished Railway Goods Shed, (access via Victoria Street), with free organised tours scheduled on Sunday, April 28 at 1pm, 2pm or 3pm.
Anyone interested in joining one of the tours can reserve a place by calling Council on 131 872 during normal business hours or by heading here.
