According to Jonathan Wooller, SilverNeedle Hospitality’s Vice President of Operations,

Much of our network growth in the last 12 months has been in North Queensland and the opening of Chifley Plaza and Country Comfort hotels in Townsville will be a welcome addition, especially when it comes to meeting the demand from our key corporate and government clientele.

SilverNeedle Hospitality’s expansion in key mining regions like Townsville is a key part of the group’s growth strategy, who acquired Constellation Hotels last year.

Widely recognised as the capital of North Queensland, Townsville is one of Australia’s fastest growing economic regions and the Port of Townsville is an important export hub. It is also an important gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, Magnetic Island and the area’s island resorts.

Over the past six years, growth at Townsville Airport has soared and is now catering to over 23,000 aircraft seats each week.

Having three key brands in Townsville will be a catalyst for growth in other important mining hubs in Northern Australia such as Cairns, Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Brisbane, and will allow us to gain further traction and market share,

continued Wooller.
