Douglas is a suburb of Townsville, Queensland,
Australia south of the Ross River and west of the
city centre.

Though mainly residential, Douglas does contain
James Cook University and the Townsville
Hospital. The suburb of Douglas is also known due
to the Douglas Arterial Road which is a
thoroughfare single-carriageway motorway
through the suburb, also the first stage of the
Townsville Ring Road.

Douglas is in the middle of a residential boom, with
student accommodation expansion projects at
James Cook University and also the establishment
of two Housing estates in close proximity.
