Have Your Say Cairns
Cairns is a popular place to live and work, and our population will grow even more in the coming decades.
Council’s Towards 2050 Shaping Cairns project is planning for this growth now, to make sure everyone can live here and enjoy what we love about Cairns today.
Do you want to help shape our future Towards 2050? We're looking for 350 Cairns residents from all walks of life to be part of our new Community Panel. Discuss and understand the issues that come with planning for growth, and help Council understand the needs and wants of our whole community.
The Towards 2050: Shaping Cairns Growth Strategy will establish a clear and coordinated long term plan for the growth and development of the Cairns local government area. The project will run from September 2022 to the end of 2024.
The Towards 2050 project will be delivered in four phases with community engagement at the centre of every step we take. We want everyone to get involved - to understand the opportunities and challenges that growth could bring to Cairns, and to share their aspirations and ideas with us.
On 5 May 2023, more than 30 local high school students gathered explore the challenges and opportunities of growth.
On 6 May 2023, more than 100 community members gathered to consider what makes Cairns special, explore the opportunities and challenges of growth, and review a suite of draft planning principles.
