A group of would-be candidates for Toowoomba Council conducted an old-fashioned back-of-a-truck political rally at the Yarraman Markets on Saturday.
The mini-rally, organised by candidate Peter Pyke, set up in Margaret Street to talk to local voters.
Also in attendance were candidates Dianne Warr, Murray Choat, Robin Grundon, Garry Humphries, Gerard O’Leary and Neville Stewart, as well as mayoral candidate Jim McEvoy.
The Toowoomba Regional Council poll is a whole-of-shire election, ie there are no Divisions.
All voters will be selecting a Mayor and 10 Councillor positions.
Five candidates – including current Mayor Paul Antonio – have nominated for the position of Mayor and 31 candidates have put up their hand for the role of Councillor.
A polling booth will be open at Yarraman State School on Saturday. Voting is compulsory.
