Range Environmental were engaged by Probuild to undertake dust monitoring at the Grand Central redevelopment Project in the Toowoomba Central Business District. The dust monitoring was completed while potentially dust creating construction activities were occurring in order to understand airborne dust concentrations at the upwind and downwind boundaries of the site.

Real-Time Aerosol Monitors were used to obtain continuous, instantaneous airborne dust concentration measurements at the site. Downwind concentrations were compared to upwind concentrations to determine if the site was likely to be contributing air borne dust to the local environment. Results were compared against the air quality objectives provided in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection (Air) Policy 2008.
