Welcome to Townsville

Let your voice shape Townsville's future. Council’s Community Sentiment Survey is a city-wide survey that gives community members the opportunity to tell Council what is working well, what needs improvement and what matters most to them. The survey closes 30 October 2026.

Can you spot the birds that share our backyards, parks, beaches and town centres? Spend just 20 minutes recording birds in your area - it's a fun and easy way to support BirdLife Australia and contribute to bird conservation across the country.

Originally conceived by the North Queensland Potters Association, these awards have continued to flourish through Townsville City Gallery's partnership with the Potters Association. The 2026 biennial North Queensland Ceramic Awards are on display at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, 19 September 2026 – 17 January 2027.

Council's waste facilities charge by load size, not vehicle size. Sort your load before you visit the tip and use no-charge drop off points for green waste and recyclables to help reduce the size and cost of your final load.
