Parking is in the back carpark off Anzac Ave (our original location). and access to the hall from that carpark.

We still have everything going ahead the only thing we had to put off was the jumping castle

We have our free Sausage Sizzle, face painting, live music, petting Zoo, live artist painting, kids craft, information stalls and more!

🌟 Calling Local Businesses & Service Providers! 🌟

We’re hosting a Welcome to Toowoomba event for Defence families on Thursday 27th February 4-6pm, and we’d love to invite local businesses, services and community groups to be involved.
If you offer a service that could help families settling into a new area — including hairdressers, barbers, beauty services, health and wellbeing, childcare, education, trades, fitness, sport, or community support — we would love to hear from you.

This is a great opportunity to:
✔️ Connect with Defence families new to Toowoomba
✔️ Promote your services
✔️ Host a stall or information table
Our goal is to help Defence families feel welcomed, supported, and connected to trusted local services from day one.

If you’re interested or would like more details, please comment below or send us a message.

Feel free to tag a business you think would be a great fit!
