The Toowoomba Region Sports Precinct (TRSP) will be located on Council-owned land in Charlton next to the Toowoomba Bypass and adjacent to the Toowoomba Connection Road. 

The facility will address the growing community demand for sport and recreation facilities and help attract state and national sporting events to our Region. 

It will provide a mix of high-quality fields and amenities, including a District Recreation Park for a variety of outdoor sporting activities, while recognising and incorporating cultural and indigenous landmarks and artefacts within the site. 

We intend to deliver the TRSP via an agile sequencing of works across multiple stages over the next twenty years. 

Master plan

We endorsed an updated Master Plan for the TRSP on 17 June 2025, reinforcing our commitment to delivering a premier, multi-sport regional facility. 

This endorsement now allows Council to seek Local Government Infrastructure Designation to streamline approvals and delivery.

The updated Master Plan retains key features from the previous endorsed 2020 Master Plan, including a premier hub and multiple rectangular and oval fields.

The updated master plan incorporates the following updates:

• an all-weather track and field facility - competition category 3
• facility realignments for improved functionality
• the inclusion of site topography and geology into planning
• the removal of shooting and archery facilities from within the precinct (these sports will be transferred to a suitable location in collaboration with the respective shooting and archery clubs to better meet their needs)
• improved road access via two access points off Gowrie Junction Road
• the removal of on-street parking for cars in favour of safer off-street parking locations.

Project status

2023/24 - The business case and master plan for the TRSP has been endorsed, resulting in the commencement of the preliminary design stage. Development approval through a Local Government Infrastructure Designation has also been sought to enable future development at the site.

2024-25 -  Preliminary design will be completed and in the span of this financial year, we aim to complete the detailed design of the precinct and establish the necessary foundations to commence construction works.   

Master plan

The TRSP is currently in the detail design phase and is on track to complete Precinct A detailed design by late 2025.  There has been $2.1 million allocated in the 2025/26 budget to finalise detailed design of Precinct A and Precinct B, in preparation for construction.

Estimated Construction start date: Mid-2028

Estimated Targeted completion date: 2040.
