Toowoomba - South

6,934 km²

Covering a vast area of nearly 7,000 square kilometres, Toowoomba - South is a sprawling region that balances urban reach with wide-open spaces. It is a place where the landscape dominates, making it far more car-dependent than the typical Queensland community. While it is largely rural, it supports a diverse population, including a young and relatively well-qualified First Nations community. This mixture of large-scale land and residential pockets gives the area its unique regional character.
