Cairns City Council Chambers, Heritage-listed council chambers in Abbott Street, Cairns, Australia.
The Cairns City Council Chambers features eight Ionic columns at its entrance, leading to a central vestibule with multiple flanking bays and hipped roofs.
Constructed between 1929 and 1930 by Alex McKenzie, the building replaced original timber chambers during a period of substantial growth in Cairns.
The classical architecture of the chambers reflects the civic aspirations of Cairns during its transformation from a late 19th-century town to a regional center.
The building contains administrative offices, a strong room, council chamber, and visitor areas, operating on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
The structure incorporates a T-shaped layout with architectural elements including scrolled brackets and a stylized pediment displaying 'CAIRNS CITY COUNCIL' text.
