The Queensland Labour Government (QLG) by way of the Queensland Resources Department(QRD), the Goondiwindi Regional Council (GRC) and Bigambul Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) have been in discussions for the past 5 years. These discussions have resulted in 95% of Toobeah being given to the BAC as aboriginal freehold this includes the Toobeah common, Toobeah dump, Toobeah rodeo ground, Toobeah Hall reserve and access to all recreational areas as well as future prospects of town sewerage, portable water supply etc. These discussions have all been confidential and have not included any community consultation.
