Townsville Airport Master Plan

The Property Council of Australia welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission on the Preliminary Draft Townsville Airport Master Plan.

The Property Council is the leading advocate for Australia’s property industry. Here in Queensland, over 400 companies are members of the Property Council of Australia. Our members represent a cross-section of the property sector and are spread across all asset classes – they are city-shapers and community builders, who are committed to delivering projects that embrace local characteristics and benefit Queenslanders for the long-term.

Our members invest in, design, build and manage places that matter to Australians. They have a long-term interest in the future of our places and spaces and are committed to creating great cities, strong economies, and sustainable communities.

The draft Master Plan highlights that Townsville holds a significant position in driving the economic growth of not just North Queensland, but the entire state of Queensland. Serving as the primary regional transportation hub, it connects North Queensland to major cities and regions within Australia, as well as international destinations.

The Master Plan presents an opportunity to create a distinguished airport precinct in Townsville, which can gain international recognition whilst acting as a catalyst for connecting Townsville precincts.
