Learning, sharing ideas, and frank discussions with a dose of fun, were the order of the morning at the weWALK Toowoomba WALKshop on Wednesday.
Despite the rainy weather, the attendees included council staff, community groups, not for profits, health and wellbeing, representatives for disabilities, bicycle users, climate advocates, universities, young people and pram users. Whilst we may not of been able to head outside for the WALKshop, the group had many great local examples to refer to.
Stepping through the WALKshop, Queensland Walks focused on the health and active transport statistics of the region to highlight what impact more people walking could have on the community.
weWALK Toowoomba show-cased how the community and council are committed to working together to improve the liveability of the region with more walkable communities for everyone. There is always work to be done, however collaborative work towards inclusive, walkable communities is well underway in Toowoomba. We are excited to see an upturn in the number of people completing the “walk my street” checklist and to see that more people have committed to join the walking advisory group with Toowoomba Regional council.
Please encourage others to do a quick checklist of your own street to begin your journey. https://queenslandwalks.org.au/walk-my-street/
