State of Environment reports

Cairns Regional Council produces a State of the Environment Report to:

• identify pressures on the natural environment
• report on responses Council is undertaking to help address these pressures
• monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these responses.

With this knowledge, Council can strengthen its efforts to help conserve and restore our natural environment in collaboration with its partners.

The next State of Environment report will be delivered in 2026/27, including updates to historical corporate greenhouse emissions.
