About Us

The Mount Isa to Townsville Economic Development Zone (MITEZ) is a regional organisation representing seven local government areas across the northern parts of Queensland. MITEZ encompasses Mount Isa, Cloncurry, McKinlay, Richmond, Flinders, Charters Towers and Townsville, a total land area of 271,732 square kilometres.

Strategically located, MITEZ forms a vital corridor connecting the extensive mineral and agricultural resources of the region to the rest of Queensland, Australia, and to international markets through road, rail, air and sea transport. Queensland’s resource-rich outback has undergone significant diversification in recent years, with new markets and industries fuelling growth among all MITEZ members. Our organisation is committed to maintaining its existing investments and to investigating new opportunities as they arise, helping to accelerate growth in the region and securing its economic future for decades to come.

We measure our success addressing four strategic pillars

Politically Persuasive

Through advocacy on behalf of our members we see to influence all levels of Government as a respect, apolitical advocate for the region.
