13.01.2022 This NAIDOC week, we’ve been reflecting on the 2020 theme ‘Always Way, Always Will Be’. Staff and visitors have added their reflections to a ‘Wall of Hands’ on display at the Spence Street council chambers. Some share a simple message ‘Common Ground’ or ‘Deadly’, others touch on the complexities of race and history in Australia.... Cairns Young Citizen of the Year Daniel Rosendale shared his thoughts, as a proud Kuku Yalanji and Gugu Yimithir man, with Councillors and community this week where a special Welcome to Country and song began the Committee meetings. We as a nation must properly acknowledge our past to ensure we can move into the future stronger and together, he said. Always Was, Always Will Be what are your reflections on this year’s theme?

05.01.2022 Did you know? Sometimes fish in the city need ladders. Sounds strange, but it’s true. We thought World Fish Migration Day, which is today, was the perfect time to show you how the Swallow Street Fish Ladder in Mooroobool is working.... Development, road-building and urbanisation can create a barrier to fish movement. The fishway ladder was built late last year to help fish and crabs get where they need to go for breeding and migration. The purpose of the fishway is to slow the velocity of water, by a series of stepped 300mm deep pools, allowing fish to move up and through the constructed barrier. The barrier in this case being culverts. The fishway allows fish to swim through the culverts during the variable flows at this location. So far, the fishway has been well-used for migration and breeding by mullet, bream, crabs, gobies and gudgeons.

01.01.2022 Level 1 water restrictions in force from tomorrow, November 17 The result of ongoing dry weather, the mandatory Level 1 restrictions apply to households and businesses for the whole of the Cairns Regional Council area. Level 1 water restrictions have been imposed, with Copperlode Falls Dam having dropped below the 80 per cent mark a trigger for Level 1 restrictions. ... The main consideration of Level 1 restrictions is shorter hours for automated watering, such as sprinklers. Residents will only be able to use automated watering between 6am and 8am, and 6pm and 8pm on the following days: Odd-numbered houses Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Even-numbered houses Wednesday, Friday and Sunday No automated watering on Mondays
