Consultation has concluded, thank you for your time.

PROJECT UPDATE

The Mount Louisa Bush Walking Track is now open! Located off Bayswater Road near Weston Street, the track is over 3.5km long and features more than 1,700 steps. 

Townsville City Council invited the community to provide feedback in relation to the proposed Mount Louisa Open Space Masterplan in early 2019. In September 2019, the revised Early Works Plan and Mount Louisa Open Space Masterplan were shared with the community to reflect the feedback received earlier in the year.

The community feedback received from the second round of engagement provided strong support for the commencement of the new bush walking track that will improve the overall user experience within the open space.

Construction of the Mount Louisa Bush Walking Track commenced Tuesday 14 April 2020 and the track officially opened Saturday 3 October 2020.

Photos of the Official Opening, as well as a Mount Louisa Trail Map can be found in the Photos section to the right of the page.
