Cooby Dam - living laboratory or sporting venue ...

Toowoomba City Council now claims it won't close off Cooby Dam to recreational use.

Source - WIN News - We'll still let you use Cooby.

Council's NWC funding application refers to Cooby being used as a "living laboratory".

Council cited the Water Futures project as one reason it would not extend Cooby Dam use rights to any purchaser of Toowoomba Grammar's Abingdon property fronting Cooby Dam (See - Toowoomba Grammer dumps Cooby Dam property).

So which is it?

It sounds more like a last minute effort to save the Cooby Dam recreational user vote.

Just don't expect Cooby Dam to be available if the Water Futures project proceeds.

It's a question of trust - and Council's past conduct points to Cooby Dam being off limits for recreational users ...
