WELCOME...
Dalby is an urban centre in the heart of the Western Downs district; 200km west of Brisbane. Dalby offers great opportunities for both living and working. Dalby is located on the Warrego Highway and is the transport hub of the Western Downs. The proximity to Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and the Port of Brisbane delivers considerable economic and social benefits. Dalby will be the first stop when the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing is completed. Dalby is surrounded by quality agricultural land and has land zoned that allows for low and medium impact industry. Dalby is open for business and we are inviting retailers, franchisors and investors to explore opportunities. The Dalby district offers an authentic country lifestyle combined with all the conveniences of modern living. The costs of living are significantly lower than the Queensland average, whilst services are plentiful and maintained to a high level. The year-round events calendar is full of opportunities to socialise with friends or family, whether it’s at the Dalby Delicious and Delightful Festival, local races, festivals, markets or arts and cultural exhibitions. Find out what Dalby has to offer to you.
