Garbutt is a mixed residential–industrial suburb of Townsville known for its proximity to Townsville Airport and major employment hubs. It offers affordable housing, handy access to bulky‑goods retail, and quick links to the CBD, though aircraft and arterial-road noise are common.
Predominantly working-class with a blend of older homes and light-industrial precincts, attracting airport, logistics, retail and defence workers. Lifestyle is practical and convenient with strong transport links and nearby coastal and hill recreation rather than a cafe-precinct vibe.
