Live the dream in Charters Towers

The Charters Towers Region in North Queensland is offering the dream of an easy-going country lifestyle with the benefits of city living.

As part of a new campaign, the ‘Charters Towers Lifestyle and Liveability Project,’ the town is highlighting its lifestyle, industries, excellent education, and affordable housing through a series of short videos.

The short videos have been designed to attract families to the region who are looking for a lifestyle tree change.  Each video features young families who explain why they chose Charters Towers as their ideal home.

Charters Towers Regional Council Mayor, Cr Frank Beveridge, said the Towers is the perfect place to raise a family and live the dream.

“Over the last couple of years, there has been a growing trend for families to get out of the cities and move to the country.

“Young families are moving here from near and far for a lifestyle change.  They want to raise their family in a safe and family-friendly environment.

“The Towers has everything you need.  It has pristine landscapes for camping, fishing, four-wheel driving and biking.  It’s only a 90 minute drive from the coast.  We have great community and sporting clubs.  No traffic, great shopping, lots of jobs, affordable housing, health care, education, and a real sense of community.  There’s no better place than Charters Towers,” said the Mayor.

With the anticipated growth over the next decade, multiple large-scale projects have begun the construction phase, including a new commercial, industrial, and retail precinct, and residential development.

“In April, Goldtower Central celebrated its grand opening.  The new precinct includes commercial, industrial, and retail spaces.  Major retailers have moved in, and many more buildings are under construction.

“Council recently approved the further development of residential land as part of Mendi’s Grand Secret Estate.  The master-planned residential development provides approximately 133 lots with sizes ranging from 1500sqm to over 1ha.

“All of this development means that there will be many more opportunities to come,” said Mayor Beveridge.
