Water park will work in our city

FROM his office in Toowoomba's CBD Brad Spanner can see the landscape of the city's heart changing - and he reckons it's for the better.

Mr Spanner's Top of the Range Home Loans business sits on the eastern side of Hume St across the road from the Toowoomba Courthouse.

Through the glass doors at the front of his office, he can see Toowoomba's newest high-rise building - the Quest Serviced Apartments on the old Church of Christ site in Margaret St - taking shape.

"I watch that hotel going up every day. It will be interesting to see how it will end up," Mr Spanner said.

"I'd like to see the CBD revitalised. It would be nice to see people roaming the city centre again.

"I like the Brisbane mall, I think it looks great.

"People say malls don't work but Margaret St already has the coffee shops and I think it would work here."

Mr Spanner grew up in Toowoomba but spent three years living in England, Scotland and Ireland, though he always intended returning to the Garden City.

"I loved living over there but when you start thinking of raising a family, I was always coming back to Toowoomba.

"There are so many parks and sporting grounds and the schooling here is very good. There are heaps of opportunities for education.
