TownsvilleMAPS Mapping Service
TownsvilleMAPS is a user friendly, versatile map service that is highly configurable to meet the diverse business needs of Townsville City Council and the public.
A recent software upgrade has been implemented which will improve the user experience both visually and functionally. There should be minimal disruption to the services. However, if you are using saved Bookmarks, these will need to be refreshed as the URLs have changed.
New User manuals have been uploaded to the Help group on the Standard Tools tab. which can assist users to navigate and utilise the new sites.
If you experience any issues or need technical assistance, please contact Customer Service on 13 48 10 or enquiries@townsville.qld.gov.au.
