Description

Townsville City is home to many regional offices of various government organisations as well as many private companies, serving as a hub for northern Queensland. There has been extensive construction in the city centre over the last 20 years. These include a major redevelopment on Flinders Street Mall by Jarrod McCracken's construction company and the construction of the North Queensland Cowboys Leagues Club.

The current retail focus is the pedestrian Flinders Mall, which is currently in the planning stages of a multi-million dollar upgrade. Suggestions have included the return of vehicular traffic.
