Toowoomba is the one city on this site that isn't on the coast. It sits about 690 metres up on the Great Dividing Range, with an urban population of 142,163 at the 2021 Census, and the elevation changes the brief: no salt air and no cyclone wind region, but cold winter nights, so heating is part of a decision that is purely about cooling everywhere else here. Underfoot, the Darling Downs black soil is reactive clay that swells and cracks through the wet-dry cycle, which drives footing design harder than sandier coastal ground does. The flash flood that tore through the city centre on 10 January 2011 still shapes how building near the range's watercourses is assessed.
