Welcome from the Mayor

Your new home is a beautiful, friendly tropical city that boasts a laidback lifestyle, while leading the way in the development of the North.

Townsville is the perfect place to live, work and play. This guide for new residents is designed to make your transition to North Queensland as smooth as possible by providing information on council services as well as important community and recreational information. There are also checklists to help you settle in quickly.

On behalf of my fellow residents of Townsville, I extend to you a warm welcome.

Cr LES TYRELL OAM
MAYOR OF TOWNSVILLE
