The West Toowong Community Association Inc. is a group
formed in 1999 to take actions that protect, maintain and enhance
the social, architectural, environmental and visual amenity and
character of the West Toowong area. The Association takes an active
role in issues affecting the area. These may impact upon the built
(that is, housing, streetscapes and so on), natural (green spaces,
creeks, established trees) or social (public transport, pedestrian
access, community building) environments. We have been involved
in lobbying for upgraded services and amenities, drafting and writing
submissions to State and local government level planning proposals
and development applications, liaising with other community groups
in surrounding suburbs and further afield, petitioning, working
to rehabilitate the natural environment, and recording the area's
history. In 2003, we published the book Toowong: A community's history.
Dates and times for meetings of the Association, our History Group
and Toowong Creek rehabilitation mornings are advertised on our
website. Please visit the site for details of activities and to
contact the Association: www.toowongwest.org.au
