  • Desired Environmental Outcomes
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 Chapter 2 Desired Environmental Outcomes 2.1 Overview The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) are the foundation of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs are the link between the purpose of the Integrated Planning Act of seeking to achieve ecological sustainability and the measures of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs: • Represent what is sought to be achieved through the CairnsPlan; • Relate to the environment that is defined broadly in the Integrated Planning Act to cover matters and conditions relating to the natural, built and human environments; and • Are expressions of the end states rather than means to ends. The DEOs relate to the whole of the City. Each DEO is sought to be achieved to the extent practicable having regard to each of the other DEOs. The DEOs are grouped under the topics reflecting the three strands of ecological sustainability identified by the Integrated Planning Act: • Ecological processes and natural systems; • Economic development; and • Cultural, economic, physical and social wellbeing of people and communities. However, there are close interrelationships between the DEOs. In a number of cases, elements of the subject of a DEO are mapped to illustrate the overarching planning strategies associated with the DEO. In these cases, the identified elements of the mapping are part of the DEO. Important issues associated with the DEOs are identified in the short discussion which follows each DEO. 2-1 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2-2 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2.2. Ecological Processes and Natural Systems 2.2.1 Ecological Processes and Biodiversity The biodiversity and nature conservation values of the marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems within the City are conserved and enhanced.

  • 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.
