Good news flows to Cecil Plains as Council relaxes High level water restrictions
After many months of High level water restrictions, Cecil Plains residents are in for some reprieve with Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) winding back restrictions to Medium level effective immediately.
The decision comes after welcome rain recently filled Cecil Plain’s weir, improving upstream water sources.
TRC Water and Waste Committee Chair Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said it was great news for Cecil Plains and she thanked residents for their efforts.
“After some good rainfall, Cecil Plains Weir is overflowing and after careful consideration Council decided to wind back restrictions, for now” Cr Vonhoff said.

Subscriber only A Darling Downs postmaster has thrown his support behind former-Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate as she appeared before a Senate inquiry. According to Cecil Plains licensed post office owner Tom Olley, businesses like his would have closed if Ms Holgate and her executive team had not secured the Bank@Post deal. It was his view that Ms Holgate was right to reward them with a Cartier watch and that Prime Minister Scott Morrison s call for her to resign was akin to bullying. Post offices like mine have been used as bank branches for a long time but the service was costing $48 million a year, Mr Olley said.
