Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) is calling for nominations from residents who are interested in serving on the Toowoomba Region Aerodromes Advisory Committee (TRAAC).

TRAAC chair, Cr Carol Taylor, said Council was seeking nominations to fill five voluntary positions on the committee. Nominations close at 5pm on Monday, March 17, 2025.

“The role of the TRAAC is to advise Council on matters relevant to the Toowoomba City Aerodrome, the Millmerran and Pittsworth aerodromes and the Crows Nest emergency helipad,” Cr Taylor said.

Cr Taylor said TRAAC’s main topics of interest included: • Representing the interests of aircraft operators and aerodrome businesses to Council and the broader community,

• Assisting Council in the identification of emerging trends and issues affecting aviation in the Region,

• Providing assistance and/or advice with specific projects identified by Council and/or the Committee, and

• Assisting Council in disseminating appropriate material to facilitate community dialogue regarding aviation and Toowoomba Region Aerodromes matters.

Cr Taylor said expressions of interest for positions on the advisory committee could be emailed to [email protected] or posted to Toowoomba Regional Council, PO Box 3021, Toowoomba, Qld, 4350.

In your nomination, include ‘Expressions of Interest for TRAAC’ in the subject line and address the Evaluation Criteria by including any relevant experience.

EOI nominations will be evaluated against four criteria, including breadth of relevant experience, extent of community influence, strategic (long-term view) interests and an ability to contribute ideas and innovation.

The committee’s term will coincide with the current Council, ending in 2028.

The committee typically meets up to four times per year. Meeting dates and times for 2025 are still to be confirmed.
