Home to major industries including mining, energy, defence, construction and infrastructure.
Experience over 300 days of sunshine each year and easy access to stunning natural attractions.

Major investment across mining, energy, defence, infrastructure, transport and construction continues to create exciting opportunities and long-term career pathways.
Life in Townsville is easy, with most of the city within a 15-minute drive – from work and the airport to beaches, schools, shopping, sporting facilities and restaurants.
