About the project
Set over 1000 hectares, North Shore is a master planned development just 15 minutes north of the Townsville CBD. With a staged roll out planned to take place over a 15 year period, the development will eventually be home to 15,000 families.
JMac has been working continuously on the North Shore development since the first stage in 2008. In this time, JMac has constructed multiple entry statements, playgrounds, sports facilities and open green spaces.

Outcomes
Due to a high quality result on the first stage, JMac has since been engaged as the main contractor for the remainder of the landscaping contracts.
