Part of our charter is to lobby on behalf of members and the business community in Cairns and Far North Queensland.
Some of the matters we concern ourselves with and address through ongoing lobbying activities include:
A New Deal for Cairns
The Cairns Chamber, along with Advance Cairns and TTNQ, have developed a three point plan to bring this region out of its economic slumber. The three R's of Relief, Recovery and Reform headline the plan. The plan is about solutions specific to our region that address the issues we are facing.
