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.

The area appeals to hobby farmers, lifestyle property seekers and early buyers looking to invest in future growth land.
