Overview

Stuart is a coastal, rural suburb of Townsville with 1,576 residents recorded in the 2021 census. Bordered by the Coral Sea to the north‑east, the area is framed by the North Coast railway line and served by Stuart railway station, while the Bruce Highway and Flinders Highway cut through the suburb, linking it to Townsville’s port and surrounding districts.

Most of the large suburb remains undeveloped, but a modest residential pocket offers a quiet lifestyle alongside key infrastructure such as Mount Stuart Power Station, the Sun Metals zinc refinery, the Townsville Correctional Centre and a local landfill and waste transfer station. Heritage sites like Stewart’s Creek Gaol and St Brigid’s Church add historic character, and the network of major roads provides easy commuting options.
