Cairns Style Design Guide

The Cairns Style Design Guide has been developed to encourage those involved in the design of new buildings or renovations and extensions to existing buildings, to consider including elements of Cairns Style and have their development contribute to strengthening the City’s image. 

The Cairns Style Design Guide was launched by the Mayor on the 19th April 2007.
