Cairns Regional, Administrative division in Queensland, Australia.
The Cairns Region encompasses 1,689 square kilometers of tropical territory along the northeastern coast of Queensland, including the city of Cairns and multiple settlements.
The region formed in 2008 through the merger of Cairns City with Douglas and Mulgrave Shires, followed by Douglas Shire's separation in 2014 after a referendum.
The traditional lands within the Cairns Region belong to the Yidinji and Tjapukai peoples, who maintain their distinct languages and customs in the area.
The Cairns Regional Council manages an annual operating budget of 433.5 million Australian dollars to provide essential services across the entire territory.
The region connects two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the ancient Daintree Rainforest within the Wet Tropics and the marine ecosystems of the Great Barrier Reef.
