Murray Sports Complex

Murray Sports Complex- We're Building a Better Place to Play

Over the last 30 years, the Murray Sports Complex at Annandale has developed to be the sports hub and heart of the Townsville region. Every week, thousands of people come together at Murray to train, compete, coach, volunteer, work, socialise and cheer from the sidelines.

The Townsville City Council has worked closely with the eleven Murray Sports Complex sporting groups to plan the redevelopment. A $25.86m upgrade of the Murray Sports Complex is underway. This project is being funded by the Townsville City Council, Queensland Government, Australian Government and the sporting groups.

The redevelopment includes the new Townsville International Sports Centre, upgrades to sports fields, irrigation, lighting and amenities. To cope with the increased usage of the precinct, there will be more car parks and improved road and bikeway networks.

Our vision is that the Murray Sports Complex redevelopment will:

  • Encourage more people of all ages to become active through sport
  • Raise the standard of facilities to a National level
  • Increase the viability of the Murray Sports associations
  • Reduce water used for irrigation of fields
  • Improve pedestrian and vehicle safety and access for all users including people with a disability

The Murray Sports Complex redevelopment is a partnership between the Townsville City Council, Queensland Government, Australian Government and the sports groups.
