Paul McIverOwner & Developer · Goldtower Properties
Build it and they will come. This is the visionary outlook that owner and developer Paul McIver has had from the very beginning.
The McIver family first purchased land and property in Charters Towers in 1986. Owning and operating the petrol station along the Flinders Highway, the McIver’s quickly made their mark on the Charters Towers community. The business expanded into McIver Bros Livestock Transport, which was one of the largest Livestock Transporters in Queensland.
Paul’s vision for the Goldtower precinct is a continuation of a legacy commenced by his family in the transport, fuel, and retail tyre industries. The land that Goldtower Central sits on, was the home to the family tyre business in Charters Towers. In 2007, Goldtower Properties purchased this parcel of land on New Queen Road and the first buildings were constructed. Since then, Goldtower Properties continues to grow not only the Goldtower precinct but also grow their investment in the Charters Towers region by employing locals, engaging local businesses and supporting local community events and organisations.
