CHARTERS TOWERS
MAYOR'S MESSAGE
Charters Towers provides a fabulous country lifestyle, while still offering many facilities and services you find in the cities.
Our region has a rich history, pristine wilderness, warm climate, quirky arts scene, unique retail offerings, and signature events. There is a huge variety of sports, music, and dance clubs for all the family.
Sitting about 310 metres above sea level and 130kms in from the coast, we’re protected from many natural disasters that the coast experiences.
Our diverse range of industries (mining, agriculture, education, retail) provides plenty of employment opportunities. We have a fabulous selection of state and private schools and aged care facilities.
Charters Towers is the ideal place to live, work, and play. Say goodbye to long commutes, expensive living costs and discover your dream lifestyle in the Charters Towers Region.
