  • 2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs
    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Western Downs Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 30 Nicholson Street, Dalby.

  • TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014
    TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014 Thank you! The Taroom Show Society would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this year‟s outstanding show- exhibitors, competitors, sponsors, stall holders, families and other visitors. Show president Shane Williams said the 2014 event was a great success, with numerous highlights. “We had the Origin Lumberjack Show, which was an international act and a first for Taroom. The crowd loved it, and the Lumberjacks loved their time in Taroom,” Mr Williams said. “We had the Santos Ladies marquee, the prestigious pet parade, a wine and cheese afternoon, the men‟s chocolate cake competition, plus the traditional Showgirl and Rural Ambassador competitions, just to name a few things.” “We had a huge number of stud cattle compete for what is arguably the largest prize pool in Queensland outside a major city. The Super Bull and Junior Bull Challenges are always a good drawcard. We had over 60 competitors in one show jumping class, making Taroom one of the most popular shows in Queensland. “It was great to see so many people enjoy themselves, and fill the grounds with such a positive vibe. Taroom is such a professionally run show for a small town and it‟s a credit for all those involved,” Mr Williams said. Two volunteers were recognised for their hard work over the years, with life membership being presented to Malcolm and Ann McIntyre. Christie McLennan, 2014 Rural Ambassador Kim Hay, and the 2013 Ian Williams, secretary Tennille Lacey, Miss Show Princess runner-up Queensland Rural Ambassador Jess and president Shane Williams.
