Cairns Regional Council was created in 2008, as a result of the State Government’s merger of Cairns City and Douglas Shire Councils.

The Cairns Region is one of the fastest growing in Australia, with more than 3.5 per cent annual growth – well above both the State and national average.
Around 143,000 people call this tropical paradise home, and they come from a myriad of backgrounds. The region is a diverse, multicultural community where people truly make the difference. It also has one of the oldest intact surviving Indigenous communities in the world – the Kuku Yalanji.
