Townsville previously supported an NBL franchise that folded in 2016 due to financial challenges, not lack of community passion.

The NBL is now financially strong and expanding nationally. North Queensland remains one of Australia’s largest regional centres without representation in the league.

This petition seeks to formally demonstrate measurable community support, corporate interest, and attendance commitment for the return of a team to Townsville.

Supporters signing this petition are expressing genuine interest in attending games and supporting a sustainable return.
