The Cairns Region

With the region’s year round tropical climate, endless beaches, World Heritage-listed rainforests and Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is the perfect destination, the ultimate in relaxation…and the ultimate investment.

The Cairns region comprises a 75 kilometre tropical coastal strip from Cairns to Port Douglas and Mossman in the north. It incorporates the Marlin Coast, the Atherton Tablelands, Mareeba to the west, and part of the Great Barrier Reef.

Cairns is the major city for the region and is situated on a natural harbour with a backdrop of rugged mountains and tropical rainforests.

The state capital Brisbane is approximately 1800 kilometres by road and 2 hours flying time away. Cairns International Airport (link) is 7.5 hours from Tokyo and 6.5 hours from Singapore.

Population growth has been steady in the statistical district currently at 129,800 and expected growth is calculated to be 1.5% p/a giving city and shire a population of 160,000 by 2008. These figures do not take into account annual visitors but permanent residents only.

The people of the north enjoy a mild tropical climate that is enjoyable year round and encourages a laid back lifestyle with outdoor living on large terraces a part of the relaxed life.

Tropical North Queensland is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia, with traditional agriculture, fishing and tourism industries complementing the growing education, health, services and technology based sectors.

Tourism contributes $2 billion to the Cairns economy and provides the business community with access to major markets throughout Asia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Guam and Australia, via direct air links. The region has shown steady growth during 2005, when most other destinations in Australia and around the world have shown a decrease in visitor numbers.

The establishment of the Australian Airlines hub in Cairns has strengthened existing markets, as well as develop new markets, such as China. An increase in flights to Guam and New Zealand in 2003 has boosted visitation from these areas.

The region produces a wealth of exotic and tropical fruits, as well as traditional fruits and vegetables. Beef cattle for domestic consumption and export is centred on the Atherton Tableland, Gulf and Cape York regions. Live cattle exports and processed meat, accounts for the majority of these exports. An extensive dairy industry and associated processing facilities are located on the Atherton Tablelands.

Cairns supports the largest fishing fleet in Australia with over 800 vessels fishing regional waters for prawns, reef and freshwater fish, crabs, bugs and lobsters. Live reef fish and sashimi quality tuna, which are exported to Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Aquaculture activities continue to grow with a focus on prawns, barramundi and red claw. The total value of fishing catch is approximately $144 million (QDPI).

Mining continues to be a major sector of the economy at almost $400 million (value at mine), as well as being a significant employer, particularly in the rural areas of Far North Queensland. The region's mining activity is spread between large scale operations such as Weipa (Bauxite) and Cape Flattery (Silica) to a raft of small operations mining gold, tin and other precious metals and gems.

The recently established Kagara Zinc mine adds further diversity to the mining sector. Our proximity to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea have led to Cairns being a major supply point for mining operations in these countries, as well as providing an excellent quality of life option for those using Cairns as a fly-in/fly-out operations base. Cairns provides the consolidation point for the massive Freeport mine in Indonesia which has its own vessel sailing from Cairns every fortnight.

Cairns has a dynamic and world standard airport, bringing international and domestic visitors directly to the region and providing the basis for both leisure and business tourism.
