Guide focuses on well-designed tropical residential developments
Council has published a new design guide to encourage quality and well-designed residential development that reflects the unique character of Cairns.
The new Designing for Density in the Tropics Design Guide provides the community, Council, developers, design professionals and builders with practical guidance on designing higher density residential developments that are appropriate for Cairns and its tropical climate.
The Guide was informed by local expertise and feedback of an Industry Reference Group with representatives from the key development sectors.
As our population continues to grow, so too does the demand for new and higher-density housing beyond the inner-city circle,” Cairns Mayor Bob Manning said.
