December 10, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba Regional Council has approved a long-term extension of LifeFlight’s existing site at the Toowoomba Aerodrome.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the new arrangement, LifeFlight\u2019s future at the Aerodrome has been secured for up to 30 years,\u201d Mayor Geoff McDonald said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLifeFlight provides critical aeromedical rescue and emergency services across our region, and this extension ensures they can continue their lifesaving work well into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, LifeFlight has indicated it would like to expand its services to create a Visitor Experience and Education Centre, using the existing hangar and additional space for car parking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis would be a welcome addition from an organisation that already provides an extremely valuable service to our community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the existing lease wasn\u2019t due for renewal until 2032, we acknowledge the great work they do and have agreed to an in-principle lease renewal that will provide long-term tenure for LifeFlight\u2019s ongoing operations in Toowoomba.\u201d<\/p>\n

Council has given in-principle approval of two separate lease areas to LifeFlight \u2013 one commercial lease for operational facilities, and a community lease for charitable and educational facilities.<\/p>\n

The decision was endorsed at TRC’s Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
