Arts and culture
Every great city has, at its heart, a gathering place for its people and its visitors – a place where a crowd, or a couple, can come together to celebrate, to meet and to belong. The new Entertainment Precinct is destined to become the true heart of Cairns and the tropical north. It will be a place for everyone – a place for you.

Our lifestyle
Council is working to create a sustainable, secure and vibrant future for our region. To achieve this we need to balance environmental, economic, social and cultural values to ensure that our communities are healthy and prosperous and are not interrupting the ecological processes on which life depends.
