We are located in a 20 minute city, so skip the long, boring commute and enjoy the easy drive to work. Housing in Townsville compared to large cities is affordable.

Townsville is a family friendly and youthful regional city and being a tropical city, you’ll never be cold with our 300 days of sunshine each year. Winter? What’s winter?
