About Pinnacles
Pinnacles is a rural locality within the City of Townsville in North Queensland, located approximately 28 kilometres southwest of Townsville CBD. Spanning over 153 square kilometres, the area had a population of just 83 at the 2021 census, though it has been identified as a future urban growth corridor with residential estates already in planning. The locality sits within a tropical landscape characterised by rocky outcrops and dry savanna vegetation.
Despite its current rural character, Pinnacles is earmarked for significant residential expansion as Townsville continues to grow outward. Those who live here now enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle with easy access to Townsville's full range of amenities, including James Cook University, major hospitals and retail centres, within a 30–40 minute drive. The area appeals to hobby farmers, lifestyle property seekers and early buyers looking to invest in future growth land.
Pinnacles falls under postcode 4815 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Thuringowa electorate.
