Toowoomba Regional Council this week (May 28, 2024) endorsed the new Councillor portfolio structure that will guide strategic decision making for the next four years.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald said the new portfolio system was designed specifically to give Councillors designated responsibilities to better support the community and Council.
"Serving our community is the elected representatives' primary objective and this new portfolio arrangement ensures we each have set areas across Council's operations in which we will have a keen focus," Mayor McDonald said.
"The new system will ensure all Councillors have a better understanding across the breadth of Council's operations, which will aid our collective and strategic decision making.
"In addition, the move is designed to help our organisational workforce improve its approach.
