Toowoomba City Council plans $250,000 flagpole ...
... at Picnic Point to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Qld.
See - Toowoomba City Council Committee Meeting agenda - 18 and 19 September 2007 - Agenda Item 8.
Funds will apparently come from the State government - part of the State government's '150th Legacy Infrastructure Program'.
There was no mention of this at the time Council staff were off inspecting flag poles in Adelaide - see - Adelaide flag pole junket.
Just another example of the secretive approach to governing by the Toowoomba City Council.
Seems everything is 'secret Council business'.
Anyway, wouldn't it be better to build some actual infrastructure to celebrate Qld's 150th year ...

This community is poised and waiting to vote in a council who will be the exact opposite to this tragic lot. We need to see our money spent responsibly and not frittered away on a silly flag poll .
I hope they have all enjoyed the trips away at rate payer expense as they have had their last because they will not be re-elected.

If they dig down 6m for the flagpole, maybe they'll strike water!!

What if Council pulled up some of the bore casing out of the ground on their useless bore at Wetalla and mounted the flag on it.
Look at it as a form of recycling.
Thorley is so proud of our shit farm, seems fitting to put the flag there.

Will it fly a Queensland flag or an Australian flag?
