TRC Community Development, Facilities and Tourism portfolio spokesperson Cr James O’Shea said the new strategy was an important guiding document as Council prepares to invest approximately $2 million in youth services over the next five years. “Toowoomba Region has a higher youth cohort (young people aged 12–24) at 9.5% of the total population than the Queensland (7.4%) and national averages (5.5%) and we have committed $355,015 in the 2024/25 financial year for services to support them,” Cr O’Shea said. “Since the release of the first Youth Strategy (2019-2021) the Toowoomba Region has experienced ongoing stresses and disruptions including the global pandemic, cost of living pressures and the declining availability and affordability of housing among young people and their families,” Cr O’Shea said.
