The Green Expo was held at TAFE on Saturday 20 June. Council was one of the partners in this event and showcased many of our services and facilities, with a particular focus on Council's sustainability and climate protection initiatives.

Most people won't know that the Cairns Regional Council has a Sustainability Officer, Maree Grenfell, who previously worked in Douglas Shire Council. Maree partnered with another of Council's skilled, passionate and enthusiastic staff members, Sarah Faulkner, to deliver a workshop on "Local government & sustainability in your community." Sustainability practices will be a focus for all Council operations as we move to implement the new Corporate Plan.
