The first Southern Darling Downs Community Consultative Committee was established in December 2017 with 15 members, plus the Independent Chair, who provided input and feedback into the Border to Gowrie project.

The two-year tenure of the Southern Darling Downs CCC concluded in late 2019. The renewed Committee was appointed in March 2020 for up to two years, or until the Border to Gowrie project has gained statutory approval. Updated membership details can be found below.
