ROMA will be getting a new industrial precinct at its airport in the coming years according to Maranoa Mayor Robert Loughnan.

Cr Loughnan outlined the council's strategic plans for the Roma Airport Industrial Precinct at a forum in town last week.

Speaking at the Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise evening on Thursday, he said the airport would be a major growth corridor along with the Roma Saleyards.

He said that while the construction phase of LNG may be over, the region's net gains had been very pleasing with further growth predicted over the next 20 years.

"The Roma Airport Industrial Precinct will capitalise on the airport's operations and vehicle accessibility on the Carnarvon Hwy," Cr Loughnan said.

"This will be outlined as a component in the new regional planning scheme set to be released early in 2016, that document has been a long time coming but it's well on the way."

Cr Loughnan said the airport industrial precinct would have a streamlined development approval process.

"Numerous industries would benefit from their operations in the airport precinct," he said.

"We're keen to progress this without jeopardising our commitment to the CBD and the industrial precinct in Roma but it is an area which has got great future capacity."

Cr Loughnan said they anticipated industries being pre-approved in the planning scheme or self-assessable.

"This will reduce red tape and create job opportunities," he said.
