Cairns Regional Council is the official local government authority for the Cairns Region in Far North Queensland, Australia. It governs a land area of about 1,687 square kilometers along a narrow coastal strip between the Great Dividing Range and the Coral Sea, extending from the Eubenangee Swamp to the Macalister Range. The council provides municipal services and oversees essential infrastructure, including water and wastewater facilities and related upgrades to support community needs. Its customers are residents and businesses within the Cairns Region, for whom the council addresses public-service delivery, infrastructure maintenance, and community-safety concerns as a government body. In 2026, the council entered into a partnership with Ports North to enhance security around the marina and foreshore areas, reflecting ongoing collaboration with regional partners to improve local infrastructure and safety.
