Mayor welcomes new TSBE chief

Toowoomba Region mayor Paul Antonio has welcomed the announcement of Greg Bowden as the new chief executive officer of Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE).

“Greg brings a wealth of experience in local government and economic development in regional areas,” Mayor Antonio said.

“The head of TSBE brings with it great responsibility and I look forward to working with Greg to pursue the Bold Ambitions of the Toowoomba Region.”

In welcoming Mr Bowden to the position, Mayor Antonio thanked outgoing CEO Ali Davenport for five years of service as head of TSBE and the vibrancy she brought to the organisation.

“Under her leadership TSBE has continued to attract significant business and industry investment,” Mayor Antonio said.

“TSBE’s involvement in health, agriculture, resources, education and a wide range of industries has brought tremendous opportunities to the broader Region.

“I wish Ali and her partner all the best for their future endeavours and look forward to seeing what future opportunities will arise for our region through TSBE.”
