Live and Invest in Thuringowa

North Queensland is quickly becoming one of Australia's most important economies, as populations continue to boom. Nowhere is this more evident than in Townsville-Thuringowa in North Queensland, Australia’s largest tropical city.

The Townsville-Thuringowa region is already the largest centre in Northern Australia, the largest independent regional centre in Australia and is positioned to be the major beneficiary of the continued rise of the North. In 2005-06, the North Queensland regional economy grew by over 12% and the only non-capital cities in Australia to receive more new residents than Townsville-Thuringowa were the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Sunshine Coast localities.

The transformation is already underway. North Queensland’s local economy, one that is widely recognised as the broadest based in regional Australia, is firing strongly on all cylinders. Resident surveys reveal a dramatic increase in the liveability of the region. People are flocking to North Queensland for the opportunities and staying for the lifestyle.

Townsville-Thuringowa feels a bit like Brisbane did in the late 1980s. The feeling on the ground is that the place has permanently stepped up a couple of gears, but the rest of the country hasn’t quite worked it out yet.

Thuringowa City is the growth centre of the Townsville region. The city forms an urban continuum to the North and West of Townsville City. Thuringowa has large reserves of land ready for development. It is some of the most strategic land in the region.
