It is pleasing to see TRC now taking tangible steps toward delivering positive outcomes for our Aerodrome and progressing the recommendations we have consistently and constructively advocated for over many years. These initiatives have not emerged overnight — they reflect sustained effort, practical experience, and a long-standing commitment to ensuring the Aerodrome’s viability and future growth.

A special thank you to Councillors Edwina Farquhar and Carol Taylor, and to CEO Sal Petroccitto, for their leadership and willingness to move these matters forward. Constructive engagement and decisive action are essential, and their efforts in progressing these outcomes are acknowledged and appreciated.

The Toowoomba council is pushing forward with a major expansion of the city's aerodrome after a bitter, years-long stoush with tenants.

The Cessna 182 Association has descended on YTWB for their annual Spring Fly-In! ✈️

The group holds two fly-ins each year — in autumn and spring — visiting various locations across our wonderfully vast country.

This season, no fewer than 18 aircraft have flown into our beautiful aerodrome. Over the coming days, the pilots and their crews will be soaking up the charm of our lovely town, staying a few nights to explore and enjoy everything our vibrant city has to offer.

We’re delighted to welcome them and showcase the warmth and hospitality of our community.

🔥✈️ Some firefighting action at Toowoomba Airport today!

Two of Precision Aerial's AT-802A Air Tractors, VH-SDJ and VH-NFY, were seen operating out of Toowoomba on aerial firefighting duties .
The two aircraft throughout the afternoon headed out on water bombing runs and returned for quick turnarounds.

It is always great to see these aircraft up close and the important role they play in supporting crews on the ground. 👏

Well done Marco! Third generation warbird pilot, and all three have flown at our Aerodrome.

Well done Marco! Third generation warbird pilot, and all three have flown at our Aerodrome.

Congratulations to Marco for his first solo in our Harvard VH-SNJ, the first warbird on the Australian Warbird Register.
Marco is the third generation of the Zuccoli-Handley family to fly SNJ, with Guido leading the way, followed by Matt (who proudly instructed his son).

Big Wins for the Toowoomba City Aerodrome!

Last week, Council has confirmed outcomes that are a direct result of the tireless advocacy of our committee and the support of all Aerodrome stakeholders.

✅ 16 leases renewed with 30-year terms (10x10x10) – giving leaseholders certainty and securing the Aerodrome for generations to come.
✅ Aerodrome closure clause removed – a clear commitment from Council that our Aerodrome is here to stay.
✅ No operating expenses passed onto leaseholders – protecting us from over $1.2 million in unfair costs.

Landing fees will also be set at $13.50/tonne for aircraft under 5.7t and $16.50/tonne for those above – a more balanced outcome than first proposed.

These wins didn’t happen by chance. They came from months of advocacy, persistence, and standing united as stakeholders. While not everything went our way, we’ve secured the most important outcomes: certainty, fairness, and a strong future for the Aerodrome.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported this fight – and especially to our committee for their tireless work. We also want to acknowledge Hugh Dunne and his team at TRC, and Councillors Carol, Melissa Taylor, Edwina Farquhar, and James O’Shea for their efforts in helping achieve this outcome.

Together, we’ve made a real difference! 💪✈️
