JCU's Townsville Campus Master Plan 2017 embraces the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century and envisions a lively and vibrant urban campus that sits elegantly in its natural environment.

JCU's strategic focus on the Tropics is fundamental to the University's charter and an integral characteristic of the new Master Plan: it embodies JCU's global positioning and special importance to people of the Tropics.

The Master Plan respectfully builds on the foundations of previous plans, and articulates strategies and initiatives that will deliver an exemplar Health and Knowledge Community for Townsville. The planning process has been underpinned by rigorous consultation with the university community with particular focus on engaging our students to help prioritise 'on campus' student life experiences that can't be had online, and to create a campus environment that's enjoyable for staff and students.
