Disability services, maps, committees and plans

We strive for our Region to be access-friendly and to represent the interests of people with access issues (including physical, social and cultural).

Toowoomba CBD accessibility map

Download Toowoomba CBD accessibility map(PDF, 2MB) here.

The map shows the location of the accessible car parks, toilets and key CBD locations and details drop off zones within the CBD. These zones are for dropping off or picking up people or goods. Parking is not allowed in these zones.

Copies of the map can be found at all customer service centres, libraries, the Toowoomba Visitor Information Centre and Hampton Visitor Information Centre.

Due to roadworks, parks updates and construction within the Toowoomba CBD, there may be some changes to car parks, including accessible car park space. The map was correct at time of printing.

Disability parking permit conditions

A current disability permit must be clearly visible from outside the vehicle.

Any current disability parking permit holders can park in the disabled bays to which a blue disabled sign applies.

The driver may park continuously on a length of road or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies: or

  1. if the time limit on the sign is less than 30 minutes – for 30 minutes: or
  2. if the time on the sign is 30 minutes or more – for a unlimited time

Holders of these permits may also park in any metered space or in an off-street car park free of charge.

Having a disabled permit does not allow the holder to park in a no stopping area, taxi rank and bus stops.
