Look after the thing that makes our Region unique... Our water

We receive plenty of rain in the Cairns Region, but it’s not all for us to soak up. The Wet Tropics environment is dependant on large amounts of rain in the wet season to nourish the fragile network of flora and fauna in our rainforests, rivers and reef. The use of our water must be shared equitably between domestic, industrial and commercial and agricultural users while at the same time ensuring there are sufficient water supplies to maintain natural environmental values.

So lets work together to look after this valuable resource and keep our region just the way it is.
