About Cotswold Hills

Cotswold Hills is a small residential suburb on Toowoomba's eastern fringe, home to around 1,600 residents in the Toowoomba Regional Council area. Perched at the edge of the Great Dividing Range escarpment at around 600 metres elevation, it enjoys the cool, four-season climate that makes Toowoomba distinctive. The suburb borders rural land to the east, offering a semi-rural atmosphere within minutes of Toowoomba's CBD.

Life here is quintessentially regional Queenslandβ€”spacious blocks, established gardens, and a community-focused lifestyle away from the bustle of larger cities. Local shops serve basic needs, while Toowoomba's comprehensive retail and services are a short drive away. Cotswold Hills attracts families and retirees who value space, clean air, and the slower pace of regional living while maintaining access to Toowoomba's excellent healthcare and educational facilities.

Cotswold Hills falls under postcode 4350 and is governed by Toowoomba Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Condamine electorate.
