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.

This Remembrance Day, stop and take a minute to remember those who fought for our freedom. Honouring all our men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our nation. Members of the public are invited to attend services on Wednesday 11 November 2026.

Garage Sale Trail returns to Townsville over two big weekends, 7-8 and 14-15 November 2026. Hundreds of locals will join together for one last national celebration of buying and selling secondhand. Register now!

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.
