Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) is reminding organisations or individuals to lodge their submissions in support of the Royal Agricultural Society of Queensland's (RASQ) bid to stage 2032 Olympic and Paralympic equestrian events by Friday (January 10, 2025).
Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald said he was encouraged by the interest and support that had been shown for the proposal to upgrade the Toowoomba Showgrounds to include the Toowoomba Equestrian Centre that could host all levels of competition up to Olympic standard events.
"I was pleased late last year to send Council's submission backing the RASQ proposal (Toowoomba Equestrian Centre) to the Games Independent Infrastructure Coordination Authority (GIICA) as part of its 100-day review of Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Infrastructure," Mayor McDonald said (Pictured with the submission).
"It has been heartening to see our local state and federal Parliamentary representatives commit their support for the proposal, in addition to one of our most decorated equestrian competitors, 2024 Paris Olympics individual eventing equestrian silver medallist, Chris Burton, who is formerly from Jondaryan.
"Council is calling on any other organisations or individuals who are supportive of the RASQ proposal to send their submission to GIICA by visiting www.gamesreview.com.au
