Have your say on 2032 Olympics legacy
The State Government has announced it would like input from people regarding the legacy that the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games of 2032 should have on Queensland, Australia and Oceania in the years preceding and after the event.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio is encouraging people on the Darling Downs to participate in the survey.

He said there needs to be a clear focus on what is needed beyond the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“There will be an unprecedented level of infrastructure required, and this must be done in the right way to leave a lasting legacy for the broader region,” he said.
“As well as the infrastructure required to host events, we need improved technology and connectivity throughout South East Queensland.
Westbrook man involved in fatal crash
A 50-years-old Westbrook man has escaped uninjured from a two-vehicle crash on the Western Downs that claimed the life of a Newtown woman.
Initial information indicates that just after 4pm last Friday, 2 June, a maroon Ford Falcon sedan and a white Toyota Landcruiser were being driven north-east along the Moonie Highway, east of Cambridge Crossing Road, when a collision occurred.
The driver and sole occupant of the sedan, a 65-years-old Newtown woman, died at the scene from her injuries.
The driver and sole occupant of the Landcruiser, the 50-years-old Westbrook man, was not physically injured.
Officers appeal for witnesses who may have observed the two vehicles driving in the area around 4pm to come forward.
The Forensic Crash Unit’s investigation continues.
“This survey will allow residents to provide feedback on the draft vision, themes and focus areas for the Games.”
The only event scheduled in Toowoomba or the Darling Downs is football (soccer) with matches to be played at Toowoomba Sports Ground (Clive Berghofer Stadium).
Information on the draft vision and themes can be found at qld.gov.au/about/brisbane2032
The survey can be found at haveyoursay.dsdilgp.qld.gov.au/ brisbane2032-legacy-plan-qld-gov-au and is open until 25 June.
