Project Overview

The Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct (LEIP) is located within the suburb of Calcium within the Townsville City Council Local Government Area in the Far North Queensland Region.

The Lansdown Precinct aims to become Northern Australia’s foremost precinct for advanced manufacturing, processing, technology and emerging industries.

Driven by Townsville City Council, this new development will generate exciting long-term job and business opportunities throughout our region and builds upon the city’s major investment in reliable water supply (Haughton Pipeline) and Townsville’s recent designation as a national Hydrogen Hub.

The project required an upgrade of the existing intersection at Flinders Highway, Old Flinders Highway and Woodstock-Giru Road.

Now completed this upgrade will facilitate safer entry to the Lansdown Eco-industrial Precinct.

The project included:

  • upgrade of the intersection at Flinders Highway, Old Flinders Highway and Woodstock-Giru Road
  • extension of the acceleration and deceleration lanes 200-300m north and south of the intersection.

Council has awarded the tender for construction of ‘Flinders Highway intersection upgrade’ to local company BMD Constructions.

Works were completed ahead of schedule in December 2023.
