Toowoomba gets climate change centre ...

... but not for long.

Excerpt from the Sydney Morning Herald:

Climate change centre opens in Qld

16 March 2007

A new centre which hopes to put Queensland at the forefront of climate change technology has opened.

Premier Peter Beattie, who opened the Queensland Climate Change Centre, said its scientists would tap into the latest knowledge from around the world to help plan for and adapt to the state's changing environment.

One of its first projects will be to investigate the effectiveness of cloud seeding in Queensland.

The centre has an annual budget of $7.5 million and was an election promise.

It has two offices, based at Indooroopilly, in Brisbane's west, and Toowoomba west of the Queensland capital.

But the centre will be relocated to central Brisbane in 2010.
