Community invited to help shape future of West Creek Linear Park

Published on 09 November 2026

Residents are being encouraged to help shape the future of the West Creek Linear Corridor Park, with Toowoomba Regional Council launching community consultation on a new master plan for the significant network of parks, open spaces and recreation areas.

Stretching through Toowoomba City, South Toowoomba and Kearneys Spring, the West Creek corridor is used by thousands of residents for walking, cycling, play, exercise and relaxation.

Parks and Recreation portfolio spokesperson Councillor Tim McMahon said the master plan would help create a long-term vision for the corridor and ensure it continued to serve the community for generations to come.

"West Creek is more than a series of parks. It's a green corridor that connects neighbourhoods, supports active lifestyles and provides spaces where people can meet, play, exercise and enjoy the outdoors," Cr McMahon said.

"This is an exciting opportunity for residents to help shape what this important open space and recreation corrirdor looks like into the future.

"We know our community values high-quality parks and open spaces and we're keen to hear directly from residents about what they love about the corridor and what improvements they would like to see."

Cr McMahon said the master plan would explore opportunities to strengthen connections between parks and improve the overall experience for users.

"As Toowoomba continues to grow, it's important that our open spaces grow with it," he said.

"The feedback we receive will help guide a future vision that supports recreation, wellbeing, accessibility and connectivity across the entire corridor.

"A master plan is a high-level, long-term vision document. It explores ideas and opportunities for how the corridor could evolve over time, however any future projects would be subject to further planning, community input, funding and Council priorities," Cr McMahon said.

"Whether you're a regular walker, cyclist, parent, runner, dog owner or someone who simply enjoys spending time outdoors, we want to hear from you."

Community consultation will open on Monday, 9 November and close COB on Monday, 7 December, 2026.

Residents can have their say by completing an online survey, calling Council on 131 872, or attending community pop-up sessions at Creedon Drive Park and Murray Clewett Park on 19 and 21 November.

Feedback gathered during the consultation period will help inform a draft master plan, which will be released for further community feedback in 2027 before any future improvement works are considered.
