Garbutt is a suburb of Townsville in the City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It is home to the Townsville International Airport and RAAF Townsville. In the 2021 census, Garbutt had a population of 2,309 people.
Only the eastern part of the suburb is residential. The southern part of the suburb is an industrial estate. The northern part of the suburb is an airport precinct, consisting of:
The North Coast railway line enters the suburb from the east (West End) and exits to the west (Mount Louisa). The suburb is served by Garbutt railway station (19°15′56″S 146°46′28″E / 19.2656°S 146.7744°E).
North Townsville Road runs through from west to east, and Garbutt–Upper Ross Road runs along the southern boundary. Douglas–Garbutt Road enters from the south.
Garbutt is situated in the traditional Wulgurukaba Aboriginal country.
Garbutt Methodist church officially opened on Sunday 9 February 1936 on the corner of Ingham Road and Meenan Street. A new Methodist church was opened in 1964, becoming a Uniting Church following the amalgamation of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational denominations. The congregation of the West End Uniting Church decided to join the Garbutt Uniting Church, but the continued growth of the congregation at Garbutt necessitated a move in 1986 to a new church called House of Praise at 485 Bayswater Road in Mount Louisa.
The suburb takes its name from the railway station which was originally known as Garbutts Siding and renamed Garbutt by the Queensland Railways Department on 26 January 1940. The siding served the butchering firm established by Charles Overend Garbutt (1848–1905), a Queensland pastoralist whose sons had settled in Townsville.
