About this Event
Join us for a discussion on urban planning and housing
Are you a builder seeking to stay ahead of the curve in Cairns' urban development?
Join us for a discussion with Cairns Regional Council's Kate Lawton on as she discusses their plans to enhance amenity, liveability, and resilience in the public realm within the Cairns CBD and surrounding precincts.
Kate will outline:
- How Cairns Regional Council is supporting planning activities to ensure future-proof housing development.
- Insights into how they are addressing localised climate hazards such as flooding, storm tides, and heat.
- New areas where infill housing can thrive and contribute to Cairns' growth and Council's plans to shape the future of the city.
