As workers, entrepreneurs, business-owners, volunteers, students, and leaders, our people make Charters Towers an economic destination. Here in Charters Towers we welcome all those who wish to help build our future economy. Our region is a great place to live, to work, to invest, and to do business. New ideas, new residents, new investment, new ventures will drive future economic growth. We are open for business, and ready to work together. Our economic pillars - agriculture, mining, education and tourism - will continue to support the Charters Towers economy. We stand ready to build and expand, to diversify and grow, to create and nurture new industries and jobs. Cr Frank Beveridge Mayor - Charters Towers Regional Council Kilometres With increasing cattle turnoff in northern Queensland, the opportunity exists for a new processor to capitalise on the Asian demand growth. The two existing basic paths to market (via processors in south eastern Queensland, and live export) involve the transport of live cattle over long distances. The Port of Brisbane is 1300 km south of Townsville. Charters Towers is strategically located within the prime cattle growing area of North Queensland and benefits from its location at the crossroads of all major highways in and out of the northern region. A processing facility at Charters Towers will significantly reduce the travel distances for cattle processors, reducing costs to processors and increasing producer revenue in return.

Welcome to Yirrganydji (and Djabugay) Country. We hope that you enjoy your stay. Please keep our environment clean and healthy and we wish you a safe journey on our traditional country. We also wish to acknowledge the elders and families of the Yirrganydji, Djabuganydji, Buluwai, Nyagali, and Guluy Peoples. The bountiful tropical waters surrounding Cairns sustained the Indigenous Peoples who first came to this naturally blessed region many years ago. The magical combination of ancient rainforest, protected mangrove systems and monsoonal rain that fed the inland rivers of the Gulf Savannah provided pristine breeding grounds and protection for many native species including barramundi, bream, jewfish, grunter, catfish, cod, eels, turtles, prawns, crayfish, oysters and periwinkles. Today these waters sustain a vibrant tourism industry that welcomes visitors from all over the world to experience the natural beauty of this iconic destination. The Great Barrier Reef continues to provide fishing experiences of a life time and thanks to the introduction of an extensive inshore Net Free Zone in 2015 the fish here are growing in numbers and size. It’s amped up fishing on another scale!
