Major Events Acquisition
In January 2025, Townsville Enterprise took on the role of major events acquisition, working in partnership with Townsville City Council to further grow Townsville's reputation as the Events Capital of Northern Australia.
Delivering on the 2024 - 2027 Townsville Events Blueprint, Townsville Enterprise appointed a dedicated panel in February to ensure community voices are represented in decisions about event partnerships in the region; independently assessing recommendations from the Major Event Acquisition team.
The One Street One Day event is the first new event secured through this new model, supported by the Australian and Queensland governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
