Ecofiesta workshops

Australia’s favourite garden gnome Costa and our local compost queen Jaide are back to help you dig the earth and grow vegetables with humour and humus.

Join Costa and Council’s City Architect for a conversation about lush landscaping, healthy homes and resilient renovations.

Strong communities don't happen by accident – they grow through everyday connections. Whether it's a friendly chat over the fence, helping a neighbour, or getting involved in local activities, these connections build trust, belonging and wellbeing.

Join Maree Grenfell from Once Upon Tomorrow to explore why knowing your neighbours matters, how strong social connections help us thrive in everyday life, and why they become even more important during times of disruption and change.

Through local examples and conversation, you'll discover simple actions you can take to strengthen connections in your neighbourhood and help create a more connected and thriving Cairns.
