Culvert replaced on Kingsthorpe-Haden Road
Upgrading of a major culvert
on the Kingsthorpe-Haden Road
(between McDonalds Road and
Kann Street, Haden) is expected
to be completed by October
2022, weather permitting.
Toowoomba Regional Council
Infrastructure Committee
Chair Cr Carol Taylor said the
project was originally due for
completion in April however due
to an historical find - an early
stone and timber culvert structure
- and ongoing wet weather,
completion has been delayed.
“A project milestone has recently
been reached, with traffic
switched over from the eastern

side to the western side of the
road, allowing works to progress
on the eastern side,” Cr Taylor
said.
“The culvert replacement project
was jointly funded by the
Australian Government’s Bridges
Renewal Program Round Five
and the council. The project will
help to improve drainage and
road safety.
“Thank you to the community
for your patience while the
council completes this important
culvert upgrade.”

Greetings to all. I have just completed my first full month in the new
role of President of Highfields Chamber of Commerce! It has been a great
experience thus far and I’ve been able to learn even more about the great
community and business community we have here in Highfields.
A little bit about me...

Hobbies: Cycling and water colours
Pets: Boo and Teddy
Fun Fact: I love riding my scooter to work
Business: MET Phys - Allied Health Hub in Highfields, offering
Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology, Occupational Therapy and other
support services.
This month: Our morning networking event where we heard from Sandy
Boardman and the Nolan’s Block. The resilience that their group has was
certainly an inspiring start to our morning.
Up and Coming: The committee has been quite active this month with
the organisation of the Highfields Industry and Schools Dinner. This is a
partnership with Highfields Chamber of Commerce and the Department
of Employment and Small Business Training (DESBT). This is a great
opportunity to connect our high school community with businesses that we
have in our area. We are still looking for a couple more sponsors for those
who are ready to inspire. Contact details are below.
Next Month: We hear from speaker Isaac Moody and his ability to thrive
through COVID in the hospitality industry.
We look forward to establishing the Highfields Chamber of Commerce
further into our region as a voice to aid business’ in our region. If you’d like
