What Does Advance Cairns Do?
Advance Cairns is the peak regional advocacy and economic development organisation for Tropical North Queensland.
TNQREP
The TNQREP outlines a twenty year economic vision for our region. It is the first document of its kind and embraces a truly expansive regional geographic footprint. The TNQREP has secured multi-tiered government support, and has genuine lasting commitment from the region’s key economic drivers who have taken responsibility for delivering the actions ascribed to their organisations.
Skills Formation Strategy
The Far North Queensland (FNQ) Skills Formation Strategy (SFS) has been established as a direct result of the recognition by industry and government agencies that the growth in the resources sector has the potential to draw skilled labour from across the region, resulting in labour and skills shortages across industry sectors.
