Community Engagement
How you can get involved
We have planned the Towards 2050: Shaping Cairns project to make sure we are talking to the community as we take each step.
Phase 1 of the community engagement, which recently finished, included an online survey, pop-up events and a number of activities to let people know about the project.
Council is committed to early, comprehensive and ongoing engagement with the Cairns community. There will be more opportunities for you to participate and help shape the future of Cairns.
The next phase of community engagement is expected to run from late January 2023 to June 2023.
