Strategic land use planning
Strategic Planning puts in place long term strategies and plans to ensure Cairns retains its enviable lifestyle and unique character, while also allowing for continued growth and development.
Cairns style design guide
The Cairns Style Design Guide has been developed to encourage builders and developers to embrace a "Cairns Style" that will enhance the tropical feel and charm of our city when designing new structures.
Daintree buyback
Two decades after the Daintree became a rallying point for the conservation movement, the work continues to ensure it remains a special part of the world.
Neighbourhood character study
The CairnsPlan currently designates a number of character precincts and local heritage places across the City and surrounding suburbs.
Vegetation preservation
Cairns Regional Council recently proposed to establish a Vegetation Preservation Area under Section 12 of Local Law No.56 (Vegetation Management) over all land within the Settlement Areas North of the Daintree River Locality as identified within the Planning Scheme for the Douglas Shire 2006.
