About Townsville Collective
Townsville Collective is a conference and events centre at 21 Palmer Street in South Townsville. One events team looks after weddings, business functions and social events across a set of rooms that range from a small boardroom to a full ballroom. The Grand Ballroom is the main event room. It is made by opening Savoy, Kingston and Raffles up into a single space. Set up this way it holds 400 for cocktails, 350 at a banquet and 500 in theatre rows, and comes with a private street entrance, an entrance lobby and a fully stocked bar of its own. The rooms can also be booked on their own or in pairs. Kingston takes 80, Savoy and Portside 60 each, Raffles 100 and Ross Flinders 50 for a cocktail-style event, while Savoy and Kingston together hold 150. Portside has a verandah and its own bar, and Ross Flinders opens onto the pool area. Every room has air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and audiovisual gear is included rather than charged as an extra. Depending on the room that means a projector and screen, in-room sound, a lectern and wireless microphones, with staging available in the ballroom. Catering is prepared in-house, from canapés and grazing platters to plated two-course dinners and buffets of up to four mains. Standard and deluxe drinks packages cover beer, wine, sparkling and soft drinks, with cocktails added in the deluxe range. Wedding packages give couples exclusive use of a room from 3pm to 11.30pm with the reception furniture set up and packed down. Guest parking is on site, and a ceremony can be added in the poolside garden, by the foyer fireplace or on a balcony above Palmer Street.
