Townsville City Plan

Use of TownsvilleMAPS – Townsville City Plan

This mapping service forms part of the Townsville City Planning Scheme. It can be used to:

• find out the zoning of a property
• find out what overlays apply to a property
• view the Priority Infrastructure Area
• view the Priority Development Area.

"I accept the Terms and Conditions of Use as outlined above and as per your signed licence agreement."

Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP)

Use of TownsvilleMAPS – LGIP

The mapping service allows users to review the Local Government Infrastructure Plan Maps. It can be used to:

• identify the area prioritised for the provision of trunk infrastructure
• determine the location of existing and planned trunk infrastructure networks
• obtain details on the existing and planned trunk infrastructure (for example, asset description and estimated year for construction).

Disclaimer

The information herein is a digital representation of the Plans for Trunk Infrastructure (PFTI) within the Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP 2019), being Part 4 and Schedule 3 of the Townsville City Council Planning Scheme. Where there is an inconsistency, the planning scheme prevails.

Notes

Consistent with the PFTI, the mapping displays existing and future trunk infrastructure, commensurate with a LGIP identifier, size details and the planned financial year of provision (in brackets). Further information, including costs can be referenced directly from the LGIP 2019.

In the transport mapping, intersections are only trunk infrastructure where they are associated with the junction of multiple trunk roads. Likewise, bridges, culverts, overpasses and rail crossings are only trunk infrastructure where located entirely on a trunk road.

All Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) infrastructure is non-trunk but has been shown in the mapping for a more complete appreciation of the wider network planning and connectivity.
