If you’re thinking of moving to Queensland, the tropical Cairns Region is one destination that ticks all the boxes. That’s why so many kiwis favour a move to Cairns, over other Queensland destinations like Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Mackay, and Townsville. Covering an area of 4,132 square kms Cairns is a juncture where the rainforest meets the reef. It is also one of Australia’s fastest growing cities with a youthful population of over 170,000.
If you’re looking to live in a city that has the Great Barrier reef as its backyard and is home to other attractions like Crater Lakes and the Daintree National Heritage Park, then Cairns is your answer. Cairns is the ultimate waterfront city, with grassy lawns, restaurants, bars, and endless sport and recreation areas. The nightlife and entertainment options are known as some of the best in Australia. The city itself doesn’t feature a beach, so if you’re looking to escape to the sandy shores and swimming areas it’s a short drive to a chain of idyllic northern beaches. Many new arrivals choose to ‘live the dream’ and settle in one of the city’s relaxed seaside villages, each boasting their own unique features.
Cairns experiences hot, humid summers and dry and mild winters. The wet season runs from November to May and the dry season from June to October. You should note that summers can get very hot, so air conditioning is essential.
Cairns winter temperatures hover around the mid-twenties (Celsius) making it the ideal time to visit the beaches, with stinger nets removed and sunny days ruling the weather chart. Free barbecues are available along most foreshores, encouraging visitors and locals alike to spend more time outside enjoying the tropics.
With its perfect (if somewhat warm) climate, laid-back atmosphere, friendly locals, and beautiful scenery, some might think that Cairns is a tropical paradise but not the sort of place to raise a family or develop your career. Nothing could be further from the truth!
For starters buying a house in Cairns will cost you less than half of what people are paying in a major capital city. Or you could buy a far bigger, more beautiful home in Cairns for your city budget. It follows that mortgage repayments are lower too. Some of the most popular suburbs for new arrivals from NZ are Redlynch, Trinity Beach, Edge Hill, Smithfield, and Freshwater.
For families, childcare costs are lower in Cairns. Fees at the highly regarded private schools are a pleasant surprise for families who are new to Cairns. If your family prefers a public-school education, there are some incredibly well-equipped schools with great teachers. If you add in two world class universities, industry training facilities, some of the world’s best healthcare services, globally connected air and sea ports, and a diverse multicultural community there’s some compelling reasons for considering Cairns as your ultimate destination.
Cairns welcome new arrivals from New Zealand and other parts of the world. One of the core objectives of the Cairns Regional Council is ‘to make life better for all people’. They are committed to wealth and work creation and have a vision of being leaders in Australia’s green economy. This vision has translated into attracting one of Australia’s youngest and most diverse workforces.
The largest employment sector in Cairns is healthcare and social services, followed by the construction sector which is the regions second biggest employer, attracting builders, plumbers, electricians, labourers and other associated trades. Other significant employment opportunities include the transport, tourism, warehousing, public administration, and safety sectors. According to a recent census, only 30% of workers are white collar business professionals and managers with a high proportion of blue-collar occupations.
