Land ownership

The majority of land within the Townsville SDA is owned freehold, with a significant portion owned by a small number of land holders.

The Coordinator-General owns 923 hectares within the Townsville SDA. The Coordinator-General's land holdings include land for multi-user infrastructure corridors, including the Townsville Port Access Road and future Townsville Eastern Access Rail Corridor, as well as industrial development and buffer areas.

In June 2018, the Coordinator-General acquired approximately 810 hectares to support the acceleration of the Townsville SDA, a key commitment of the Townsville City Deal.

Acquiring this land allows the Coordinator-General to proactively respond to proponents seeking development opportunities here.
