Cairns, the growth centre of the tropical North
Widely recognised as a leading tourism and recreation capital, Cairns is fast becoming one of Australia’s most popular residential cities, with its population growing to approximately 135,000 in the last year. Cairns provides the infrastructure and amenity of a much larger city – boasting an international university, hospital, domestic and international airports – while being surrounded by natural beauty that rivals the world’s most desirable locations.
The combination of wet tropical rainforests and the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef provide residents with lifestyle amenity of the highest quality. Access to the Reef is easy using one of the numerous public boat ramps, city marina or the recently completed world class marina on the Northern Beaches. Rainforest walks, conservation lookouts and waterfalls are the perfect backdrop to the Cairns’ Aussie lifestyle.
Cairns offers a relaxed, tropical lifestyle with additional benefits of a strong and diversified local economy. With the growing number of permanent residents (population growth at approximately 4,100 people per annum) Cairns is a strong performer across the tourism, agriculture, sugar, property and increasingly mining, commercial and manufacturing industries. A record low unemployment rate was recorded for the region mid 2007, estimated at only 2.8%.
With in excess of three million passengers moving through the domestic and international airports per year, Cairns caters for its booming tourist economy with an exceptional calibre of entertainment and culinary attractions for visitors – or for those who prefer to stay a little longer…
Where to live
Cairns is a unique coastal city bordered closely by beautiful mountain ranges. The prestigious Northern Beaches prove extremely popular with residents and visitors, due to their proximity to pristine tropical beaches, recreation, infrastructure and entertainment.
Trinity beach is widely regarded as the suburb with the best mix of tourism and residential uses in the Northern Beaches. With direct access to the beach, marina and only five minutes to the primary retail precinct of the Northern Beaches and 20 minutes to Cairns, Trinity Beach and surrounds are widely regarded amongst locals as a location to relax without too much influence from tourism.
Development of new residential communities is underway throughout Cairns, delivering high quality living options from leading property developers from around Australia. At Trinity Beach, international property group Multiplex is setting high standards of tropical living amongst the backdrop of protected rainforests of Earl Hill with its masterplanned community – Bluewater.
To the south, further land is planned for residential use to accommodate the increasing population and strong demand for residential living. This land is to be developed over the next twenty years, as the few remaining residential communities in the Northern Beaches are completed.
