The Townsville Futures Plan outlines a range of recommendations to determine the way forward for Townsville in a manner which will deliver significant benefits for the region into the future.

The Townsville Futures Plan is the result of a range of existing planning initiatives and deliberations by the Townsville Futures Plan Taskforce. The taskforce was an advisory body established by the Queensland Government to develop recommendations for Townsville's future. The taskforce has consolidated these efforts into a range of strategies and actions that support the shared vision to build on the region's strengths and promote investment and sustainable growth. The plan seeks to identify opportunities for greater collaboration between all levels of government, industry and the community, to realise Townsville's potential and elevate the role of the city in the state's future.
