  • Transitioning Regional Economies
    TRANSITIONING REGIONAL ECONOMIES A Productivity Commission Submission by Cairns Regional Council and Advance Cairns February 2017 Prepared for Cairns Regional Council and Advance Cairns by Cummings Economics T RANSITIONING REGIONAL ECONOMIES A Productivity Commission Submission Preface When Cairns Regional Council and Advance Cairns became aware of the Productivity Commission’s Study into Transitioning Regional Economies, it was thought important to provide a submission from this region. In the first place, Cairns is one of Australia’s largest truly regional cities located some 1400 km in direct distance away from the nearest metropolitan centre. The city of Cairns services one of Australia’s largest geographical regions, an area 1½ times the size of Victoria. The region is located deep into Australia’s tropical far north with substantial differences in history and prospects to most rural cities and regions in southern Australia. Most importantly for this study, while Cairns as a city and its region have been experiencing long-term growth well above most other non-metropolitan cities and regions in Australia, it has an economy that is highly non-government oriented, highly trade exposed and subject to economic fluctuations requiring, at times, strong adjustments but also strong regional initiatives to realise emerging opportunities. Thus, while the immediate prospects for the Cairns economy may appear better than most other regions around Australia, we believe that: o The experiences of the region in coping with past shocks including the Resources Investment Boom are highly relevant to the study; o There is a need to recognise the policies and actions that will help the region make its undoubted substantial contribution to the nation’s transition to growth and prosperity following the Resources Investment Boom.
