2026 Townsville Community Assembly

Join dozens of community members and leaders to act for the common good in North Queensland!

The 2026 Townsville Community Assembly will be an energetic public meeting with faith, union and community leaders assembling to talk about the issues impacting our lives.

We will share stories, propose positive solutions and seek commitments to working together with our local MPs and council members based on our community driven agenda for North Queensland.

Through local listening, research action and organising, civil society leaders worked hard to develop local solutions to the pressures being faced by families and communities in Townsville.

In March, we gathered to share stories and tested our ideas for action.

This September, we're coming together again to progress our issues. The Townsville Community Assembly is a meeting with our local MPs and Council members to discuss what we've learned and progress towards action on our issues.

Our three key issue areas are:

• Housing

• Community resilience in extreme heat events

• Community connectedness, including The Queensland Way campaign to address social isolation.

This is a non-partisan action, as are all activities of Queensland Community Alliance.  You can read more about our Alliance below or visit our website.

At the Townsville Community Assembly you will:

• Build relationships, listen & share across our diverse backgrounds: faith, union, and community organisations

• Be invited to take action on issues like tackling social isolation and community connectedness, addressing our local housing crisis, and community resilience in extreme heat.

• Celebrate our wins and the power of acting together.

• Hear directly from our local representatives on our issues.

Join us for a night of energy, food, and action where we seek commitments from our elected representatives to work together for the Common Good in North Queensland.
