With the 2005 Telstra AMA National Track & Field Championships being held in Brisbane it was decided that the QMA State Track & Field Championships would be held in Townsville, this provided North Queensland members who don't normally make it to the State Championships to compete in the state championshipswhile at the same time it gave local Brisbane and Gold Coast members the opportunity to travel to sunny North Queensland to compete against people they usually don't have the chance to compete against. In 2008 Townsville will also play host to the OAMA Oceania Regional Masters Athletics Championships.
