Our Cairns Youth Survey 2024

We invited local young people aged 14 to 24 years old to have a say and help guide Council's priorities. The Our Cairns Youth Survey was open from 9 August to 20 September 2024 and collected 1,010 responses.

Key findings were grouped under topics:

  • Issues for youth
  • Feelings about Cairns
  • Public Library
  • Community facilities and interaction
  • Plans after school
  • Transport
  • Safety
  • CBD
  • Waste and Recycling

The 2024 Youth Survey Research Report is now available.
