War Memorial: ‘it will be built’

Continued from page 1

At this year’s Cambooya State School Anzac Day service, held just a month before the War Memorial was destroyed, a discussion was had between Cr Taylor and others regarding the potential for a vehicle to damage the site.

Cr Taylor said the risk is heightened during the Anzac Day service, where kids sit on tarps around the War Memorial which are very close to the road.

She said she would be going to great effort to ensure the Cambooya War Memorial is restored as soon as it can be.

“It’s important not just for Cambooya but for the wider community - I’d like to see it back,” Cr Taylor said.

“I think we should really seriously consider moving it back in the park further away from the road.

“I want to assure the community it will be built.”

TRC Environment and Community Committee Chair Cr James O’Shea told On Our Selection News last week Toowoomba Regional Council officers are in the process of assessing the cost and timeline for repairing the memorial.
