Survey

Have Your Say

Toowoomba Region is changing.

If Council is going to influence the delivery of diverse housing choice and supply across the Region, we will need to understand what our community values and needs. We want to hear from you to inform the delivery of our Local Housing Action Plan (LHAP). This project will help inform strategic planning and policy decisions that Council makes around housing for the future.

Have Your Say

We want to learn about what you need in terms of housing now and into the future.

Join us to share your thoughts and ideas around housing choice and our Local Housing Action Plan.

  • Survey (10-15 minutes)
  • Community sessions (see Drop-in Sessions tab)

This survey will help us unpack your ideas for housing in the Toowoomba Region.
