From the Mayor...We're coming into the busiest and most exciting time of year for our wonderful region, with so many events and activities for you to enjoy. The Cairns Indigenous Arts Fair starts tomorrow and I would encourage everyone to experience this incredible showcase of indigenous culture and talent. In just a few weeks' time, we will open the 2015 Cairns Festival, which this year reflects the theme
Celebrating our Cultural Diversity. In between, we have the relaunch of the Palm Cove Markets, the Great Barrier Reef Masters Games and Seniors Week. It seems timely that, this week, I joined with Tourism Tropical North Queensland CEO in announcing a new Events Prioritisation Strategy
for the region. We understand how important events of all shapes and sizes are in creating a vibrant city for our residents and for our economy and we aim to increase the opportunity to attract and develop events year-round. After all, Cairns is a great place to enjoy yourself. Mayor Bob Manning
