WELCOME...
Tara is located in the heart of the Darling Downs district; 90km west of Dalby and 300km west of Brisbane. Tara offers great opportunities for both living and working. Tara is surrounded by quality agricultural land and has land zoned that allows for low and medium impact industry. The proximity to Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and the Port of Brisbane deliver considerable economic and social benefits. Tara is open for business and we are inviting retailers, franchisors and investors to explore opportunities. The Tara 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 Tara Festival of Culture and Camel Races, local races, festivals, markets or arts and cultural exhibitions. Find out what Tara has to offer to you.
