Tropical North Queensland, the most populous region in Northern Australia and boasting one of the most diverse regional economies nationwide, continues to play an outsized role in contributing to the prosperity of Queensland. Advance Cairns, the Cairns Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Tropical North Queensland together with our members and leading regional stakeholders, have come together to highlight key regional priorities which we believe will collectively build a more sustainable and robust future for the region.
The priorities outlined in this document, enable the region to enhance its liveability, sustain a growing population and foster economic growth while continuing to play host to millions of national and international tourists. By 2032, the region will require an additional 65,000 beds to provide for tourists alone. And tourists and residents alike depend on secure and safe water supply, reliable connectivity and access to health services.
