The Townsville City Council have endeavoured to provide a number of
activities during the school holidays that assist in the inclusion of children
with disabilities or additional needs, children from Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander backgrounds and children from Culturally and Linguistically
Diverse backgrounds. These activities aim to remove barriers and provide
social opportunities for all children, with the purpose of building capacity
and inclusion within the Townsville community.
All Townsville City Council events are drug and alcohol free.
All activities are FREE unless otherwise specified.
