The Cairns Roundtable                                                                               

The Cairns Roundtable is firmly committed to undertaking community initiatives through a process that is informed and includes broad based support.  As such the Roundtables' process is based on our beliefs that:

• A Successful Community initiative requires that a clear vision be created and communicated widely.  Informed, committed and braad-based community leaders must lead efforts.

• Community-based initiatives should do more than yield short term results.  They should also provide a focus for future policies and actions, to create an expanded civic capacity as citizens learn how to deal with change more effectively.

• Local resources can be co-ordinated, leveraged by external resources and maximized to achieve Cairns desired future.

We hope you will support our initiatives by becoming a member of our website and joining our newsletter.
