Development Application lodged for Toowoomba Qantas Pilot Academy
“Early estimates indicate the academy will create 100 direct jobs and 300 in the wider construction industry with the flow-on effect also having a major impact on our region.
“This is a project, not only of regional significance, but one of state and national significance and as such, I’m delighted to see it progressing to the next stage.”
In March this year, Qantas advised it was looking to appoint a new training provider for the Toowoomba site and the facility has been tweaked to suit the needs of the training provider.
“The new application is similar in size and capacity of students, but has been re-designed to be further removed from Toowoomba Cecil Plains Road and to incorporate a changed configuration and layout of the accommodation village.”
The training facilities and hangar complex remain at the eastern side of the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport runway with the academy on track to welcome student applications in the coming months.
